Long before internet marketing, long before I stumbled across the skip hire industry…just basically a long time ago, I achieved my childhood dream of becoming an RAF pilot. I am sporadically learning to fly helicopters (hence the picture in the blog header of the Schweizer 300DCi, but this is me back in 1987:
Mark Attwood the young RAF pilot
I actually resigned from the RAF because I woke up and realised that I simply didn’t want to kill another human being, whatever the circumstances. The mindless slaughter of millions of innocent people I have seen in the 20 years since I left in bullshit wars like Iraq and Afganistan has proven me right.

Hey Mark, Can totally relate.. I’m now 54 but always wanted to fly. Now I’m living vicariously through my son. He started flying at 16. He’s flying Cessnas now but once to learn helicopters once he gets his commercial license.

I thought you said fix my crappy grammer – which I did. It was really crappy. Now I’ve just understood you meant yours! Blogging’s a bit like school sometimes, isn’t it?
