I still remember that awesome pilot or cockpit photo.  Think you should give that one another airing China, many people would appreciate seeing that one again (or for the first time).

Oh I remember that one!  Wasn't that China's mum?  Absolutely beautiful from memory.  (Sorry China...getting carried away about the good old days!  :) )

Heeheee...yes, that was my mum, and just a couple of days ago I found the wedding photo from the occasion. She was a bridesmaid. Unfortunately I don't recognize the bride.

The frozen doctor was her dad. Small village in Manitoba called MacGregor. He could get called at any hour to drive miles into the countryside to attend a birth, or some dire emergency...could take him hours to get there. Not like today!

Cockpit photo coming up on a new thread :) Also a few new ones I've just unearthed, navy stuff.

Thanks again, crew :)
