S Club flying lessons

[glenrobbo]

Do any of you Midlands S Clubbers know if Wellesbourne are still offering elementary flying lessons?
It seems that BarryS1 could do with a course of instruction when his femur is screwed back together. Gravity can be a cruel mistress if you don't pay her enough attention when working at height.

I wish you a speedy recovery Barry. And put that nurse down!

Yes - the airfield is still operating normally with a variety of flying schools to choose from.

I assume Barry will want a White aeroplane?

Yes Niiige, a nice white one, preferably with a big red cross. And parachutes.

Perhaps Glen's friend, the "Wicked Witch of Wellesbourne," could help out with flying lessons

From the look of that picture, I think you would have to prize that broomstick from her cold dead hands before you could go flying on it for a spell.

Been falling off ladders

DIY = Don't Involve Yourself

It wasn't DIY, Longers, Barry is a professional.
He does it for a living. I think he must be very brave. I wouldn't do it without a parachute.

Don't listen to him Barry! He's just trying to lull you into a false sense of security.

And welcome home. Now you've got a lot of work to do.
Plus hours of PHing.

Nah, we'll just have to use permanent marker pens, or carve our initials into his leg like the trunk of a tree where young lovers meet.

Actually, TBH, the stitching / stapling would have been better carried out by D&C Trim. They could even have stitched the TVR logo in a prominent place.

To be fair, Barry's surgical team did do a good job of it, but it just lacks that finishing touch.

Update:
Bravely bold Sir Barry has been walking six miles a day with his crutches and has recently started full weight bearing on his new stainless steel leg.
I have been advised by the Mid-Essex RO not to go walking with him because I lack the stamina and pace to keep up with him.
Last Thursday Barry and GARV escorted me for 10 miles to ensure that Percy and I left the Mid-Essex area to return oop norf for the "Thrills in t' th'ills" event.

Our brave soldier has even been back to work on light duties for 2.5 days.

I can only dream that one day I will be as fit as our hero and be able to devour a big Wellesbourne brekkie as quickly as he can.

( I think I'd better start saving up for more teeth..... )
