Troll (given previous postings lower down) However, for the people with a very real fear of flying I will continue.
I don't suffer from claustrophobia or have panic attacks...I do however, have little faith in man made things such as them there bloody flying machines.
My first flight was with BOAC in 1972. London Heathrow, New York, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Fiji, Sydney, Melbourne... 36 and a half hours in a VC10 was sheer bloody torture which is embedded in my brain.
It took almost 20 years for me to return before I realised that my need to return back to my homeland was greater than my fear of flying (and what a party that was)
I'm not endorsing any medication... however, with a talk to my GP I was prescribed medication and it worked and still works for me.
God knows I love a drink... but cannot ever imagine being so drunk so I don't give a rat's arse for 6 hours to Bali, 9 hours to Thailand or 24 hours to the UK... I'd be denied boarding for sure LoL
Whatever blows up your skirt to get you there!!!
