Between the age, eyepatch, and heart condition, you will never get an aviation medical approval certificate. You can buy and operate a sailboat for a tenth of what the same size plane would cost and you can drop the sails, anchor, and take a drink and nap any time you need one.
Wow! Day 2 of reading for me…. and I continue to be very impressed and excited to read more. I will start to comment more about the action as soon as I have a bit more bearing on the story.

Good for you, Mr Knott. Life is better far away from school.

Personally, considering how long he’d been doing the job, I think Knott’s earned the early retirement. Stop pestering the poor man.
Besides…it’s not HIS problem anymore, now is it? ;)

He probably doesn’t want to chance being blinded in his other eye either.

I prefer Vaughan Williams to Britten, personally.
