OT: BAEC/FT members; What do you actually look like?
 
I was having a recent discussion with another FT member and I mentioned I had been fortunate and had met a few FT's.

In a light hearted and amusing way, it was quite funny listening to their descriptions of some FT's I have met. I dare say some folks here on the BA board have an 'image' of what they think a certain poster may, or may not look like. Either by their job, posts, age etc.

We have seen photos of the legendary Henkybaby and HIDDY in TR's so as a bit of fun so WHAT or even WHO do you look like?

I shall go first and describe myself as a slight lookalike between Anthony Edwards from ER and Bruce Willis (the much fatter version):D

I'm sure I saw one he posted recently on his farm IIRC?

I have seen one in a TR once, a long time ago... The man is a lot younger than we give him credit for. :D

He is quite young but I will sure he will be along shortly to disclose his age :D

He is the Yoda of the BA board and as Yoda once said "wise man he is, warning many of the dark side of going onto the dark path (in seeking status or a Gold Card), no returning there is. Forever, the direction of your life it dominates." ;) :D


Edit: It is an actual quote but I juts made a wee amendment :-)

Despite what PUCCI GALORE says I am very young. I've trawled through my trip report pictures for a picture of the two of us.....which was quite hard as I'm usually the one taking the pictures. Outside Ezeiza airport.....it was a few years ago right enough, 2007 IIRC.

A mere spring chicken :p

Amazing how a conversation in the Flounge over a glass of champagne ends up as a thread! This is one I will watch with interest as I my imagined vision of folks apparently bore no resemblance to reality :D

I would like to think I look like a young Audrey Hepburn but I know that is not true - being Scottish and all I don't really stand a chance of that!!!!! Dark hair is about as close as I get ;)

Indeed. :)

Just realised that picture is older than I thought. It was taken a few years earlier than 2007. :o

As long as your definition of 'a few' is not '10+', you still look much younger than you make yourself sound like.

I wish I had hair.......any colour!:) You were grand company and you were like the Champagne, very bubbly :D

Hope you're enjoying your well deserved holiday ^

Good to see that not everybody thinks that all hell will break loose if they put their picture on the much feared InterWeb. :)

Could be. :o

Just to put the record straight.....this one is more up-to-date.

Haven't they aged I hear you say. :p

I keep getting mistaken for Brad Pitt, so I tend to travel incognito as much as possible these days.

I usually appear at least once in my TRs.

T8191 Jul 16, 2011 9:48 am

Still a bit like this ... although less nervous :D

And quite nice TRs you write too. Somehow never saw them before. You need to do more shameless self promotion here. Good work! ^

No wonder you were nervous....it doesn't help being blindfolded when flying a plane.

At least I was in 1A ;)

Isn't row 1 the passenger seat? Where you a pilot?

Good point ... my only chance to fly in 1A and I blew it.

Yes, 1A was indeed empty. I think this was my first glider solo.

Very kind words :) I tend to just post them for whomever enjoys them. I actually like writing them to relive my infrequent trips :)

Tallish, skinny bloke, frequently mistaken for Swedish :eek: At least I have a tan now :)

Rather like my marriage, I'm about to be sucked in, chewed up and spat out :p

Would love to share a picture of me (mainly for PUCCI's benefit), but I'm afraid that it would be classed as classified information in my line of work. :rolleyes:

He's certainly not a shoe salesman.

The same shoes have appeared in his trip reports for years.

I hope they are his flying shoes. Shoes that can come off easily and then take ages and ages to put back on. Or is that what people do when travelling in front of me at the airports. Some people need to buy some decent socks.

Ah, you were behind me at TLS the other day? I was so sure that my new shoes would not beep...

Sorry 'bout that! :cool:

EuropeanPete Jul 16, 2011 2:11 pm

I had some shoes which would always set off the buzzer (larger than usual metal pins in the heel?). They didn't last very long in my wardrobe as a result.

Well, those mountains don't look like anything in Scotland... somewhere near Bariloche perhaps?

pinkcat Jul 16, 2011 3:08 pm

The side of my head on a tour bus in 2005 is the newest photo of me, Like Hiddy, I am usually the one taking the photos!

Could be but no.....taken from our New Zealand trip report.

Already on another public forum so happy to share

Me in the foreground accompanied by a fellow FF at the launch of the Manchester V-Room and yes, I am of the female persuasion as LONDONANDY and SCHOFS can testify.
