longman h - you sort of come up with shorthand notes - in air combat, for example, you use arrows to denote fight direction/changes, that sort of thing but yes, they do become hard to read. We have just had Rod Gilbert up to the Squadron to do one of his work experience shows where he learns to do a job - it should air soon.

Nice, I bet that was fun.

I saw the Red Arrows documentary last night called 'Inside the Bubble' which I enjoyed very much. It's just a shame they don't do fly alongs!!! :thumbsdown:

If it's any consolation Rod Gilbert became very ill on his flight (quite common), like really ill - should be rather amusing...
