This is a question Grandparents

My awesome grandad flew in Wellingtons in the war. Damn, those shortages were terrible. Tell us about brilliant-stroke-rubbish grandparents.

Flying a plane age 7 or 8?!

It was glorious.
Still remains one of the best things in my life. Wish I had photos of it.
Wouldn't be able to do that nowadays.

the headphones were as big as my head, with a mic that stuck out across my face. We flew over a lake then he said "your turn" and as he spoke the controls in front of me popped forward. I held it steady for ages, got to dip and climb again, then banked round to go back the way we came. I don't remember landing but I remember jumping out of the plane up to high-doh and my mums face of relief to see me grounded again. Haha.
