Matt, I reckon you only got it, cos it's embarrassing to be shot down by a Student Pilot.
Jolly well done anyway.

It's embarrassing to be shot down by ANY pilot. I was also just embarrassed to think we'd not given Matt the recognition he deserved for his abilities. It was a promotion for his talents, and definitely not my lack of them (though my talents are severely limited).Flyco wrote:Matt, I reckon you only got it, cos it's embarrassing to be shot down by a Student Pilot.

Well done indeed Matt.
