Oh Osc I would've loved that! :D How exciting!

When we flew to India I asked for me and the boys to go into the cockpit (you could in those days :roll: ) and it was brilliant.

All those dials and digits and switches and...oh dear, nerdy Norma again. :oops: :lol: :lol:

My score is six, but I've no desire to do the others.

And they left one out - "To have a long-lasting, loving relationship with someone you love"

Which would make my score seven.

:D :D

We have a lovely photo of the three of us in the cockpit of a Virgin plane flying to Florida. Luke would have been about 8 and you can see Tim hanging on to his left arm with a fierce grip, just in case he grabbed anything :lol:
