Thank you darling DD I think you could be nterested in actually planes & flying especially, if I still had my Sedburgh. I was fully qualified to fly and teach in Gliders when I bought mine & rebuilt it. Unless rules have changed since 2011 there's no upper age limit to fly one if one passes the medical.
Hi Riz I never worked on a Firefly or the Hurricane but have had quite a bit to do with restoring Spitfires, 2 DH Dragon Rapides 4 Tiger Moths a Hunter T 7 a Vampire T11 a Meteor T7 apart from working on the Lighning Mk1 Hunter 6 and Javelins - all marks 1 to 7 when I was in the service. - My Maternal grand father though, was an RAF W.O instructor supervising training for making the Horsa and other tow ropes for the Arnhem drop. He taught me about theory of flight aged 9 in 1946 when we can back to Thanet and it got me hooked - I am 80 now and have taught youngsters similar to what he taught me as the basic skills never change and I moved on to a higher level because of how he taught me.
I hope the old boy comes through and goes more years yet
