My last (List) post on this subject, honestly...
I'm not flying anything at present, merely a desk in a NATO
headquarters in the Netherlands. Now, NL is a lovely place and the
people with whom I work are fine, but there is something quite
excruciatingly frustrating about working in NATO (says he with 3
months' experience). And I have a chance to live in my own house in
Cambridgeshire and to fly again.
Flying fast jets is good fun, but they have to spend a fair amount of
the year (4/5 months) away in far-flung, sandy places doing rather
monotonous flying at high level being shot at. I don't baulk at
being shot at (I had a trip in a Prowler over N. Iraq in April this
year), but I do feel that time away from my family is time wasted.
Anyway, in a Grob (fairly sure that's what it is) I could develop a
clamp to hold my OMs and perhaps take photos of all sorts of exotic
aircraft that fly in the same speed regime. Does anyone have any
experience of aircraft coaming clamps with a tripod bush to hold a
camera?

My next job looks like (fingers crossed) being an instructor one in
small piston aircraft (Grob). This means that the student will be
able to fly while I take photos with a handy OM1N and zoom... can't
wait.
You WANT to be a primary instructor after flying jet fighters?! Are you
feeling okkay?
I didn't know Grob made piston aircraft...thought they just did sailplanes.
