Hmm, that's got me thinking. I honestly can't point to one single thing that did it; I've just always loved aviation, and wanted to be part of it. As far back as I can remember I always wanted to fly for the RAF as a pilot, and so I always saw the RAF's role in World War Two as an example that (God forbid) I might have to live up to one day. I think that's given me quite a sense of history, pride and sometimes even sadness when I see a warbird now; to me they're more than just machines, they're living memorials.

Thanks for the question Tony. Very thought provoking. And I think it's prompting a question of my own... :)
