Commercial Pilot Training 1960s'

Post by Nigel H-J »

This should interest Peter....I am sure that he will recognise the training Captains of the Trident with some wonderful in-cockpit shots.

Excellent, it's a good job he learned how to land the Trident... Especially after seeing him bounce that poor Chippie around.

Garry, surely you remember those days of the sixties......when we had Music Whilst You Work on the radio or even 'Workers Playtime' :roll:

Indeed I do.........but it must have hard enough to learn to fly in black a white without that din in yer lug'ole. :worried:

Seriously.,,,,the constant radio at home and in supermarkets and at work is probably the resaon I grew up hating radios.

I never have one on and I never buy music because I don't listen to music....play it but not listen as such.

The last music I bought for myself was Machine Head by Deep Purple in about 1975. :worried:

I loathe background music and by choice would never dub it onto videos ......just hate any sort of background noise unless it's a proper aeroplane :tunes:

Couldn't agree more Garry.

Main reason I stopped buying DD Video. As I explained to them, if I wished to listen to music I'd put the Hi Fi on.

Aircraft and dubbed music just don't work for me.
