I remember the air display too!

AS with the lady in last week's letters, I vividly remember being taken for a flight with Sir Alan Cobham at his air display in 1932.

At the time my name was Landick and I lived and worked at Narrowton and Merryfield Farm at Folly Gate, and my father paid for my sister and I to take a flight in an airliner. We flew over the town of Okehampton, and as we flew over the farm you could even count the sheep and bullocks in the field if you wanted to.

I now live in Bovey Tracey and at the age of 91 can still remember, vividly, this wonderful and exhilarating experience.

I now regularly travel on jumbo jets to see my son in Tazmania, but nothing quite compares with my first experience of flight at such an early age.
