Hah, I did that too, Tiff.
Concorde was grounded at Duxford in about 1982.


The only time I have actually flown in a plane was as a teenager on honeymoon to Malta.
I have no desire to fly anywhere nowadays.

All the tea in China would not get me in a hot air balloon either.

Or maybe the fear of not being in the air as long as you should be.

Remember flying isn’t dangerous - crashing’s dangerous

Re: First time on a plane..

first flight if I remember correctly was to lloret de mar in Spain. Sue and I went and we were not even engaged ? or don't think so at the time. Her mother insisted on single beds in the hotel and wanted proof. Some chance.

So got on the plane and the air stewardess asked if I was ok . I said I was a bit worried as it was my first flight. Lovely lady asked what worried me.
I said those people down there look like ants, she said they are ants we have not taken off yet. Flown to a lot of countries since then

Although I wouldn't mind a flight in a helicopter!


I remember my parents and I took my son for a helicopter ride when he was little.
The pilot thought he would make it more exciting for the little boy and did some swooping about.
It didn't have the desired affect. My son was terrified and white as a sheet, poor kid!

Yes, I was Ullabi.

I saw everything through rose tinted glasses in those days.

It's very strange but I have no wish to fly in a fixed wing plane but for some reason a helicopter flight interests me. I would also not enjoy something like the roller coasters at Thorpe Park and yet driving at speed in cars and on motorbikes I really do enjoy!

I’ve done both. Helicopter flight was over the Grand Canyon absolutely fantastic.

Is there a reason you don't have a passport? Just curious.
The nature of my job meant quite a lot of travelling. Mostly commercial flights but I also had a few local aircraft (Cessna) and a few helicopter trips on oil rigs.
