Life In A Spin

A Talk by Nick Mylne

Following some 30 years flying helicopters for both the Army and the commercial sector.

Nick followed this with 20 years of teaching aviation law and human performance.

Flying in countries as diverse as Canada, Jamaica, Saudi Arabia and Germany, while flying with heads of states and other VIP's.

Nick himself also survived several

near fatal accidents.

With such a wealth of experience, Nick's presentation promises to be, both informative, thought provoking and no doubt liberally

interspersed with very humorous anecdotes
