Yep – he went from the RAF to being de Havilland’s Chief Test Pilot after the war. I never met him but he did come to see our Beaufighter restoration a couple of years before he passed away. A very nice guy by all accounts.

[QUOTE=SteveYoung
2 – Probably the Beaufighter print I have, signed by the late Gp Capt John Cunningham. That’s very special to me for a number of reasons. Next most treasured posession is my log book.

1 – Rather ashamed of this one… earliest memory is of kicking down my best mate’s wooden brick castle because it was better than mine. I was three… 🙁

2 – Probably the Beaufighter print I have, signed by the late Gp Capt John Cunningham. That’s very special to me for a number of reasons. Next most treasured posession is my log book.

3 – I wanted to be a fighter pilot. I got part of the way there, and was fortunate enough to get some back seat time in a Jag T2 along the way, but ultimately I didn’t make the grade. Long time ago.

4 – Jeans and t-shirt. Standard non-work rig really.

5 – Depends. Savoury – mini pork pies (yum!); Sweet – jam and cream doughnuts. 😀

6 – Cracking crap jokes (as most of you already know!)

1. Asking my mum to get a wasp out of the loo (4-5?).
2. My flying logbook.
3. I wanted to fly for a living, but my eyesight isn’t up to it.
4. Combat trousers, casual top. No wedding ring, it’s off being shrunk 3 sizes I’ve lost so much weight :p No watch, I hate them.
5. Anything I find in a fridge raid.
6. My leg twitches. I had a great time once at work while the two girls opposite tried to work out why the floor was vibrating..

first memory, vague image of looking out of possably a pram or somesuch and seing a wall and terraced houses (moved into a semi with my folks when six months old – before that in a back to back terrace, strange huh )

tresured possetion, got two, 1 model boat made from perspex and brass from the remains of a crashed spitfire during WW2 and given to my mum when she was young.
2 grandads (on dads side) pocket watch, it served him troughout WW2 and still is in good working order and has never been restored or serviced.

first ambition, fighter pilot, had to start wearing glasses at 12 and that shot the sh*t out of that one so then wanted to work on aircraft, done that for a job and for a hobby

specs (see above) german army shirt with arms cut short and a B1 test team patch on left sleeve (to cover a welding burn), jeans and trainers

fried egg and cheese sandwiches gotta be runny eggs and loads of cheese

probably being me LoL, not shaving, i hate shaving cos it gives me an eczma flare up sometimes

It was not an earbashing! I just asked if you bit your own toenails on a regular basis!

boy oh boy.

I am not annoyed – the idea of someone biting my toenails might turn others off, though!;)

Flood

oops sorry Flood, I have changed my original message for fear of repercussions 😮

I’m trying so hard to be good and go a whole day without someone being annoyed at me! Oh well – I failed what’s new? 😀

Snaps

well Flood, thankfully I’m not flexible enough to bite my toenails! eurhhhh 😮

Think you mean Moggy – I got an ear-bashing for this, you know! (Doesn’t mean shes not interested…;))

Flood

well Moggy, thankfully I’m not flexible enough to bite my toenails! eurhhhh 😮

Ashley – well no I don’t defrost them, frozen peas are really tasty frozen! ummmm! off to raid the freezer – Do you think it will give me more brain power to decide what defination of diabetes I’m going to use for my assignment? (2000 words by Monday, not more than 50 words written yet oops!). I need all the help I can get! Even my 11 year old neice has offered me her assistance!

Kleenex? Where are you? No it’s not my latest snack idea – still have my stupid cold!

1)The alarm going off.
2) An Ankh given to me by a good friend.
3) I wanted to be Snapper – but that position was taken by the time I thought of it. Maybe an explorer?
Lack of language ability and a fear of wide open spaces put paid to that one…And creepy-crawlies!
4) Now? Oh dear! Um…Socks, boxers, button-up collared shirt, a smile, a blush, and my unruly mop of hair. And a gold Rolex which could just get stolen for the insurance (and you are all witnesses that I had it!)
5) Dried pineapple or apricot pieces, and bananas!
6)Irritating habits? Me? But I am perfect! Anyone will tell you that! Just ask Colonial Bird – she says I have no irritating habits, that I am perfect, and quite frankly.. I’m inclined to believe her.;)

In mitigation… 😮
