Still waiting for him to start writing some of them down!

[Fifties Fanatic]

I'm sure we'd all enjoy the book!

[Mayfly]

many have said that - you should hear the stories when the crew get together & have a few beers!!!

[Fifties Fanatic]

So no liklihood of pen to paper, then.....I'd like to be a fly on the wall in that bar.

I hope he will give in one day!!!!!

[Fifties Fanatic]

Me too...........just how much pressure has the forum exerted??

[Mayfly]

Aha you can't pressure DT, he will just dig his heels in

It has in fact been mentioned to him numerous times & he has on occasions not dismissed it out if hand, Not only is he too busy at the moment - [it would have to wait until he retired] but I'm convinced he just doesn't understand how or why anyone would find it interesting.

[Fifties Fanatic]

I think that last sentence is probably spot on - I think it applies to many professionals who just do their job and do not reslpise howm interesting it is for those of us who are passionate about the subject but were never able to fulfil our apirations. Reading and/or talking abouit it is the next best thing.

My tongue was in my cheek, MF - he will be left in peace - for now!

[Hungry Haggis]

A fine figure of a man. What a marvellous career - he'll have a few yarns, I have no doubt and I must have seen him displaying countless times.

Youd soon know I think like many on here and the other place I watched the Vulcan often in it's last years on the display flight and the fluid motion was like a signature back then I guess she was a good deal heavier than now,but after the fist couple of times I knew we were in for a treat when the PA announced who was flying her .

The books I enjoy reading the most are the factual ones and also autobiographies I can and do loose myself in them for days

[Sooty655]

Just to complete the picture for FF, DT also "drives" the most powerful remaining Vulcan, for which we at Wellesbourne are very grateful.

[Fifties Fanatic]

Oh, thanks for that, Sooty - I have seen that on You Tube - very impressive.

Another member of the Mayfly school of typing!

[Fifties Fanatic]

That's the best yet, xpl - even MF couldn't match it. It's what comes of typing in a rush on a keyboard the size of a sugar lump.

[Xplumberlives]

Sharpen your fingers!

[Jigsaw]

As long as those two don't write DT's memoirs

[Xplumberlives]

[Mayfly]

I'll write it slowly Jiggy as I know you can't read very fast!

[Xplumberlives]

Silly bugger!

[Jigsaw]

I'll write it slowly Jiggy as I know you can't read very fast!

Or double dutch

[RLN]

Because of your new signature, Jiggy, it wouldn't have anything to do with your eyesight would it?

[Fifties Fanatic]

Sharpen your fingers!

Or better still kick the smart phone into touch and stick with a man-sized keyboard!

Funny you should say that. I was just reminding myself how useful this braille monitor is
