September 8th, 1975……..a young and very fresh-faced Bograt goes into Marshall of Cambridge to start his aviation career. A lot’s happened since then, and quite happily ensconced at Stansted, doing my bit for my current employer a few weeks ago, I get a phone call.;
“You interested in working with historic aircraft?”
“You bet your @$$ I am!”
“Let me put you in touch with a friend of mine”
So, an interview arranged, terms agreed, offer made and accepted – as of September 19th Bograt is going to be one of the Indian Heads at Duxford!!
Pretty good way to celebrate 30 years of being in the biz!
I haven’t stopped grinning since… 😀

DIGBY, the least of your worries, beware of a very round BENTWINGBOMBER.

I can tell you that after 30 years neither the body or the face are much to look at!
Thanks to everyone for your messages; I’ve got the feeling that this stage of my life is going to be the most rewarding. 🙂

Thanks! Everyone’s been saying that.
