This is me. On my Nimbus 500 (Thanks for reminding me of the type Griffin :wink: )

Now everyone on the forum knows what I look like, and why skygod's other name is grumpy :D :D


Amazing what a rainy day and a computer can do :roll:

Looks like a near miss (or is it a near Ms?) Tell us why the "Grumpy" title?

Grumpy is even called that by his kids. But he insists that its cause he lives with a witch :roll: :D (Sort of earthy, passionate woman who flies)

Like all good microlight instructors, he does not do mornings well (need about 3 cups La Mercy coffee to get him going), and he does not do evenings well, because he is tyred from having to get up so early, and according to him, lunch-time needs to be followed by a nap (which never happens) - Hence grumpy :wink:

To answer Morph: There is no two-seater available in this kind of flying machines. When your' on it you take no prisoners. :twisted:
