My love of aircraft came from many airshows from my younger years, in my teens i joined the ATC 2468 SQN and had the joy of learning to fly a small 2 seater aircraft called the Chipmunk. I would love to fly again but i guess flight sims will have to do for now.

Ha ha, snap! I also flew the Chipmunk years back when I was in the ATC (1003 SQN) I seem to remember that the engine had a cartridge start system. It was like firing a shotgun round into the engine to get the prop to turn over. Bet you don't see many of these in operation anymore!
