I Do 'parking clinics'.
Parking;
- Side of road so you don't have to call a cab to get to the kerb,
- Multi storey car parks (specialty is teaching people to miss the large immovable concretey bit. (They never move, honest)).
- Parallel parking (See 1st item).
- Bay parking (nose in or arse in first (You choose)).
- general avoidance of the other numpties around you.

Not tried anything without a reverse gear yet.

aircrew don't park aircraft they abandon them, parking 'em is what they have groundcrew for

Sorry, but somehow I rather doubt that the RAF will be calling on you too soon!

Maybe there's something wrong with my mum, but she's an excellent parker, and I was ready to put on a high vis vest and re-park all the MEN at Coningsby the other day who had 6 foot gaps either side of their cars

and the idiot who parked diagonal :-o

strangely enough he didn't stay long =))

Strikes me its the other sex who can't park

I'll take a photo when I'm there next time =))

Get yourself some white paint and a brush and nip up one evening after flying has finished. Then just mark the carpark out with straight white lines. I'd love to see the reaction from the regulars in the morning! =))

Although the articles are a bit old now lol :))

but would still like to bring this to your attention

The reason is simple, many of the women who go through flight training turn out to have better flying skills than the average male pilot.

Sorry - it's the excitement of the weekend ... what with meeting SM and all =))

being in the presence of Divinity does cause that from time to time =))

The ratio of females going through flying training is is very low in comparison to men - I have no idea of the reason, it could be they don't apply in the first place or they don't make the grade to be selected.

I think any woman who makes it in a mans world should rightly be proud of herself but I think its also worth mentioning that the Israelis have had front line combat pilots since the '70s or maybe even before that.
We didn't even allow female pilots until 1998.
