I had no idea I'd dredged it out of my subconcious memories of watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (which I loved as a child!)

On Boxing day my attentions were fixed on Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow , where my home town football team, Stranraer, played Rangers for a 1-1 draw. Ecstacy<br /><br />As a 17 year old in the late 60's I recall having a quiet, unobserved, play with my younger brother's Corgi toy Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. <br /><br />Years later, I trained as a glider pilot. One of my instructors was a man named Derek Piggot. He augmented his income with film work. He flew on the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang film. Also 'The Red Baron'.., 'The Blue Max' and many others. Cool and very, very able in the air.<br /><br /><br /><br />Andrew Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14063661979113168003noreply@blogger.com
