Not quite yet Roy, thanks for your concern.
For some reason ras cut off my post. Presumably it offended someone, I'm
very used to that!
I was complementing your choice of subject and bemoaning now getting
competitively dicked by grandchildren of pilots I flew with in the 1950s
and
1960s.

For me, the relentlessly increasing time and effort involved in getting out of the cockpit with a chute on.

More exercise, or a glider with BRS (that's my solution), so you don't need a parachute. Or an
inner-tube sort of thing to sit on, that can be inflated to raise you 6" or so.
