That was Toby - 'Heliflyer', whom i had the pleasure of meeting at the BeoWorld Christmas Party in 2009.  Not heard from him for a long time!

I did 16 hours of my Private Pilots Licence in 2003 if that help? 😂

Last I heard is he (Toby) moved down to Hertfordshire to take up a job as a police helicopter pilot. He's probably got a camera crew with him for our entertainment in the show Sky Cops.

Oh and I had to talk a pilot down after he freaked out whilst I was the passenger - even though I can't fly. 😂 Doesn't really count but I verbally flew the thing😂

Where did you do it Lee?

I fly 737-300's for Jet2 at Newcastle in the UK. Spent years teaching light aircraft instruction around the UK.

Have just 2 weeks now until my final commanders simulator check, so sat here listening to music through my Beovision 7 studying(a lot)

Ps and if your the other chris who I think you are, you better get studying too. Just had a beating on the sim at Woodford.

I might just be - I had a roasting in the Chambery sim too!!!
