I'm not even close boys. . .69 in June last. . . .

 

But my Mate Stuart Bell is a few months short of 90. . .he still flies his own Auster and he is a Permit to fly inspector for the LAA on all sorts of older and more modern aircraft. . . He also teaches inspectors.  Heck of a sense of humour too. .. bit like a Lot of the 'Older Boys' on RF.   ?

 

Moans like hell as he has to walk with a stick ! ! ! !

NOT CLOSE ?.

 

"I'm not even close boys. . .69 in June last. . "

 

Sure it;s not reversed at 96. I hope it;s 69. LoL

 

Walking with a stick ?.

 

I'm Hobbling with a stick. With only baby-steps, too big a stride & it's ouch. Now staying home & sitting for hours, Just to keep that pain at bay.

"May 8, 1945

 

After five years and eight months, with the unconditional surrender of the Germans on May 8, 1945, World War II came to an end in Europe.

 

That's a YES, as am I.

 

Unless Kaz is American.  then it's September 2, 1945, with the surrender of Japan

Manufactured during the war doesn't make you anything specifically but does allude to your parents being optimistic, silly, or careless. Nev

 

My mum told me I wouldn’t have happened if dad hasn’t come home on leave “feeling like that”.

There must be someone older than me. 83 and still plodding along.

 

John Buckley at Shepp is a tad older than you. His brother, Ben, is older again.

 

John has 2 Tecnams, a lovely C182 he flies regularly, a couple of other 182’s he is rebuilding (one to 180) and a couple of Thorpe’s (also being rebuilt).

 

But keep plodding,  Yenn...you give me a standard to aspire to.

I meant people who post on this forum.

 

There is a bloke at Emu Park who has been flying for over 70 years. Lost his lower leg in a car accident a few years ago and that didn't slow him down. I followed him across the runway on foot a year or so ago and had to run to catch him. A wooden leg doesn't stop him flying a Piper Cub.

That's him. I know his name, but I'm not going to post it online. He's still around.
