Australian Flying

What was I thinking doing it. More to the point what was my instructor Evan thinking as I became known as the worst trainee pilot out of Bankstown.
What he didn’t know was that as a magazine editor at the time I was out at various “dos” until 2am before rising at 5am forr an early start flying. This might exlain why I so frequency bounced from the runway rather than executed the perfect landing.
And he should have also told me to pul myself together, dump the tweed hacking jacket and look at little more like a pilot.
