My First Solo - Part Four & last

[Hagar]

In the RAF each aircraft has a Captain who is responsible for it and its crew. I don't know if this is the same for the other Services but the Captain is usually, though not necessarily, the pilot. He might not be the most senior in rank

Well done- the flight and the story. I'm glad to know I may have inspired you to share this with us...  
Somehow I could never have pictured you, even as a youth, flying an airplane with no shoes on...! LOL!

I sometimes wish I had started in gliders... makes more sense to begin that way. And the Slingsby must be a vey interesting beast to fly.

Woderful story.. thanks  :)  My head's still at that field.

I think we might need a, "Tales From the Logbook"  section.

And yeah.. I'm kind of partial to 1959 too (year of my birth).

1959 was a good year for me as a couple of months later I was selected for a supersonic flight in a Hunter T.7 trainer but that's another story.

You keep reminding me of that! Lucky bugger....

I hope that one will be posted here someday...or was it already?

I might have mentioned it once or twice before. LOL

I have no wish to bore anyone. All this reminiscing makes me feel like Uncle Albert from Only Fools & Horses. http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/onlyfools/uncovered/albert.shtml

To be honest I'd rather read about your exploits.

You're in luck; I enjoy reminiscing. I don't care what anybody thinks...

But look here, mister; we're talking about a supersonic flight! I'm pretty sure nobody else here has done that. If nobody else here had ever sat on a flushing toilet inside a house, they'd be fascinated to read about that, too... it's all relative, you see.
To you, such a flight might be a regular snooze, but to us, it would be something exciting to hear about!
