Do it my friend....I personally have never been able to stand the "If Only" scenario and have changed my career path before, now I have two disciplines which has helped me a lot in the current climate.

GO FOR IT!!! ;D

Unequivocably

YES

I was a toolmaker in the fastenings industry for years, good job, steady and it taught me loads of good sound engineering.

Lovely

Then a neighbour of mine (struggling with an engine strip and rebuild which I put him right on) suggested that I ought to come and join him, working for the AA.
(yes he was struggling...)

After discussing the total change in lifestyle with the gaffer, I did, got through the interviews and never looked back

I had the best twenty eight years of my life by changing directions

The real irony is  that my original plan A was to join the RAF and become an aircraft technician but I failed a medical soon after getting married

go for it Mike

Not long now bud 8)

Not long now? Brian my guess is that when "not long now" actually becomes "now" you will be as miserable as sin and a short tempered wretched nuisance to those around you, Menorca or not.  :(

Andy, I think you may be right mate, the nearer it gets the thoughts bloody fool comes to mind. But we are all going on the p*ss on the Saturday night before they all depart on the Sunday, so that may numb the pain.

I started in aviation many years back in the Navy's Fleet Air Arm as an Apprentice, served twenty years,  then joined joined Civil Aviation as a Licensed Aircraft Engineer, the best decision of my life, I have always been in work, and visited most of the world and made many lifelong friends. You will never be a millionaire but you can have a good life. I can still get all the work I want and I am approaching eighty years! and still have the energy for Le Mans. Go for it Lad!.
