C'mon you two..I've seen these things in action and they looked like real fun (not sport) and I was gagging to have a go..I'm 65yo and would give it a go in a flash!

Have a sneaky suspicion that Dave and Sara would too..horses like like water.

Volunteers...anyone?

You youngsters think that us olduns (Recycled teenagers) haven't already 'been there and brought the T shirt;
actually think I've still got it somewhere, (the T shirt that is, not the inclination.)

Now now old boy 'you know better than that' Get it out we need proof

Berni, I'm going to hold you that! Phil, I think you need to to come out flying with me and rediscover the 'teenager'..might even have a spare T-shirt for you. My son has organised a paragliding weekend for us all at Sopot (Stara Planina), so that might be a good place to start.

And just before Berni starts on me..have a look on youtube..'R22 chopper mustering' put up by monkira1 on the 18th June 2009.that's me in the zebra skinned chopper chasing cattle into a yard, at the end of a hard day. Sadly, the lady taking the video was trampled and killed by these same cattle very shortly afterwards.

In those days, I used to fly wearing a pair of shorts, a helmet, no boots and very little else.

I'm not trying to show off at all..I do have many videos and photos, but no T shirts, I'm afraid..it was just a job!

Must admit for a while it looked more like a toy helicopter, but good on yer sport that's a fair dinkum bit of flying.

Oh ahhhhh I am well impressed now Bazz not bad for an old boy eh!!!!! Ah wait but then you must have been a young boy

All in a days work..sometimes 14-15 hours straight, grabbing a sarnie and a mug of cold black tea while someone else pumped your fuel in, from a 44gal drum..if they weren't there, you did it yourself, minus the food and drink. Breakfast at 4.30am, take off at 5.00am, final landing around 8.30pm and dinner at 10.00pm..then it was time for a beer! But, in those days, earning 500 pounds per day was a big attraction..later on, with a new job which paid me the same money for a 5 hour flight and included living expenses and meals AND a fancy uniform, the old attraction waned somewhat.

I recently went for a fly with the guy who 'dusts' my crops..in his old Antonov biplane and he invited me to 'have a go'..all I will say is to repeat his words.......!


Still want to come and get another T shirt?

Yep, Berni..about 44 or 45 then, but to be truthful, I had been flying (legally) since I was 16yo. I was flying fully armed, troop carrying helicopters in Vietnam just a few weeks after my 19th birthday. I took this cattle mustering job as a means to an end whilst awaiting an answer to endless applications for a proper job..it paid off in the end.

Always look on the bright side of life......

No Bazz if you have the video clip put it on here please.

It's on the same page you got the little girl singing..along with a lot of other interesting clips. Just look for the mention of 'chills down my spine'.
