Having taken an interest in family history over the last couple of years I have writing autobiographical notes – at least those to do with aviation. Herewith the opening sentence and first para (slightly ammended) – the document runs to 10 pages so far!
Iām not positive where my life-long interest in aviation began but I do know my earliest aviation memories are not happy ones.
When I was six my older sister and I both attended, for a short period, the same Junior School. One day after walking home we found the back door to our house locked and our mother not in ā not something I remember happening before. The weather was ok and we sat on the rear step to wait her return. A twin-engine aircraft (a Dakota or Viking perhaps) flew over very low and, of course, very noisily and I was very scared.
