My airline commenced operations from Gatwick which is in the South of England and the poor relation to the main Uk airport Heathrow. Then we managed to obtain slots at Heathrow so we started to become a slightly bigger player with a few more international destinations. Of course this meant a lot more work all over the UK and out to all these new destinations. So long story short and I didn't or rather wasn't able to touch my Cobra for quite some time. Actually, it was about ten years that the car sat getting a dusty tan in the garage. Massive changes occurred in the travel business, the worst being the horrors of 9-11. Everything was turned upside down and the industry was hit very hard. We had to say goodbye to half of our staff and we very nearly went under, but survive we did, however the job was never the same and it went from sheer joy down to something you did just to get the money. And on that particular subject I did my sums and was fortunate to be able to take a rather early retirement. I had worked for the airline for over 25 years so I kept all my concessions thankfully, you do get rather used to flying first class I have to admit. So now I have loads of time on my hands and, finally, I can restart on my badly neglected Cobra. But, and you guys still working will find this out that, suddenly, you need 48 hours in every day. New patios front and rear, summerhouse and recreation room at the back of the garden, new roof on the double garage, construct a third garage. Yes, the third garage is for parking the 911 so when you are working on the other cars, you don't have any red hot shrapnel flying around. And other cars happened to be a Porsche 356 I purchased with view to restore. The Cobra still untouched.
