    Well...

    ...after many moons away, I felt the need to say that I'm now a qualified aircraft engineer. And I unfortunately was there to see Big Beautiful Doll go down. Hello!

    Nice to see you're still here, pal. Everything has changed for me; currently working on the line at Manchester Airport for Thomas Cook. I am thinking of going over to the U.S. next year to get my A & P license after I get my EASA Part A license.

    How are you? What are you up to now? And how is the missus?

    Yes. Congratulations on your new qualifications D. And Big Beautiful Doll is a sad loss. Fortunately the pilots were ok. It's good to have you back man.

    Thanks all. It was bad enough to see the tri-plane trip up, but at least everything was okay with that. Other than all that, the day at Duxford was amazing...even though they never mentioned that the three Me 109s were Merlin engined variants, or I may have missed that when enjoying an ice cream.

    Oh yes; an added bonus to the day was a book I bought called Lightning Boys with the sigantures of the pilots there - one was in 11 (F) Squadron, it was great to ask my dad about the man - and he was an ass in the 1970s, and frankly quite rude in 2011 too. The stories in it are great, and showing my dad then hearing his takes on them makes it better.

    Welcome back D!!! Now you're part of "The Brethren." Let me know if you need help when you're ready to get your A&P.
