  A hilarious account of ones man's life, from a skint, naughty schoolboy to a millionaire retiring at forty only to risk it all on a completely different venture. With over 500 flying hours on both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, the author gives an insight into the thrills and real dangers of being a private pilot. Few men decide to start horseriding at 40, fewer still only a psychopath to train them. The author's first horse took him showjumping and hunting and would not have been out of place in a Mad Max film. Anyone in business will empathise with the struggle to establish a new and totally alien enterprise with an GBP8 million set-up cost and over 60 staff from day-one.
