That was a certain now deceased Mr G Best, Footballer. He used to get very thirsty due to all that running about for ninety minutes......:\
Me? Not a heli pilot, got two kids and no money. Used to be in Car Sales, now a car photographer, but jump into any a/c I get chance to, preferably with rotors and no wings.

Lots of different jobs,

mostly worked as a fisherman and a chef on board fishing vessels.

Now I'm a blond model and I am pretty sure the money soon starts rolling in... :}

Bought a tiny little helicopter trying to make a living now coz the modelling hasn't paid off yet.
