1955 - to date: In What I've Flewed ...............

Anson, Auster, Chipmunk, Britannia, Whirlwind 10, Devon, Beverley, Twin Pioneer, Hastings, B707, DC9, DC8 (3 sorts), L1011, VC10, B727, B737, B747, B767, Airbus 310, Airbus 340, Dash 8, BAe146.

Twenty-two that I can think of. Each perhaps merits a story. Some because of the aircraft, others because of where I was going.

Strange, my stepfather was born in 1901, two years before anyone had flown at all.

Five family members (Andrea, my father and mother, Rocky and I) were in the RAF in one way or another for a total of nearly 40 years.

Aviation was perhaps 90 years old when I left it and I saw almost 40 years of that, first hand.

So, helpless audience of mine, I'll tell a tale of each of those 22 machines. It won't be too boring I hope.
