Brambo

**Boney10** · 06-21-2015 03:28

Ladies and a Gentleman, I have recently found out that one of our fellow flyers has been quite ill and not been as active, not only as he would like but as much as he has been since joining us.
Trev ( Brambo) has been a respected and enthusiastic member not only of the UK wing but the forum as a whole.
He has told me that although his illness has been, in his words "nearly fixed", he still has a lot of recovery to go before back to his normal self.
I hope that you will join me in wishing Trev a very speedy recovery and hope that he wil be once again back in the skies with us and we once again have his company at the various UK shows.

Trev all the best mate and I hope to see you again soon at the table.

**Baron Rolf** · 06-21-2015 03:46

Trev, you're an inspirational character on the forum and I'd like to wish you a speedy recovery.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 06-21-2015 04:06

So sorry to hear that you have been unwell Trev.
Here is to a speedy recovery, and your getting back into the cockpit asap.

All my best wishes old chap.
Rob.

**Dom S** · 06-21-2015 05:14

Glad to hear he's on the mend at least. Take it steady mate.

**Jager** · 06-21-2015 05:39

Sorry to hear you've been ill, Trev, but here's to a complete recovery.

Get well quickly, Trev!

Hope to see you at a show again whenever you're ready.

**Naharaht** · 06-21-2015 19:04

I am sorry to hear that you are ill, Trev. Here's hoping that you will be 'back in the air' soon.

**OldGuy59** · 06-21-2015 21:41

Trev,
Lots of positive vibes and best wishes coming your way! Hope to see you posting lots, soon!

**gully_raker** · 06-21-2015 21:56

Yes I have missed Trev's presence here & can only add to everyone else's comments. "GET WELL" real soon Trev, we need you back in the Skies!

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 06-21-2015 23:57

Get well soon Trev. Need my wingman back.

Clear Skies and safe landings.

Neil

**Guntruck** · 06-22-2015 00:23

Hi Trev, sorry to hear this. Hopefully you will be firing on all cylinders very soon.

**tikkifriend** · 06-22-2015 00:34

All the best Trev and get well soon.

**Archidamus** · 06-22-2015 00:45

Sorry to hear you've been ill Trev - here's wishing you a speedy recovery.

**flash** · 06-22-2015 00:47

Look forward to seeing one of our top guns back over the trenches and sooner rather than later - get well Trev !

**QB Fox** · 06-22-2015 01:16

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Chap.

**Brambo** · 06-25-2015 14:09

Hi Guys, sorry I have not been on for quite awhile but I've had one or two health problems. One of them stopped me breathing for about 30-40secs every time I coughed, I think its known as Voicebox Dysfunction, came as quite a shock but thanks to some great doctors we have just about solved that one. The other is the one that prevents me gaming, torn ligaments in my shoulders. I have very limited use of my arms and can only move them a very short distance in front of me. I'm glad I have an automatic car so I can still drive short distances. At the moment I'm having Physio every two weeks and the surgeon is going to make a decision in Aug as what to do next as the physio doesn't seem to be working but he needs me to keep trying until then.

I'm sure we will get there in the end, as far as I'm concerned there are a lot of people a lot worse off than me, and I'm lucky to have such good friends from all over the globe. Thanks for your kind messages and support.

Take care and watch your six

Trev

**Flying Helmut** · 06-25-2015 14:17

Great to hear from you Trev!

Get well soon, if only so that I can exact revenge for you pushing me into WGS!

**Teaticket** · 06-25-2015 14:20

Sorry to hear about your troubles Trev. Do what you gotta do to get back to 100%.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 06-25-2015 14:38

I am very relieved to hear from you Trev.
That is some good news at least this week. I know there is still a long way to go, but you are at least on the road. It is incredible what the Medics can do these days. Keep your pecker up and if there is anything we can do to help just sing out.
All my best for a quicker recovery than you anticipate.
Rob.

**Bruce** · 06-25-2015 18:33

Good on ya Brambo; glad that you're in good enough shape to speak for yourself. Must be on the mend; my prayers for a continued recovery.
Geeeeez ... 30-40 seconds without being able to breath ... I'd have been calling the padre in the off-times. Very brave; ditto Rob's "Pecker up".

**Archidamus** · 06-26-2015 00:50

Good to hear from you Trev - hopefully you'll be fully fighting-fit in short order (I know from experience that physioterrorists can work wonders, so maybe you'll see improvements before the August deadline)

**Tonx** · 06-26-2015 07:01

Wishing you a safe and speedy recovery Trev - hope to see you back on here soon

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 06-26-2015 09:32

Ok, now how to solve you're gaming problems.....um.
1. Don't fly an aircraft with wing mounted guns ( remember you can't raise your arms above your head!)
2. Joystick between legs means you don't have to raise your arms either.
3. Getting in and out of aircraft will be hard..however follow these steps and you'll be fine:
...a. Get some help getting into the aircraft.
...b. Once in don't get out.
...c. Get the mechanics to bring you a pillow and sleep in the plane.
...d. Get the mechanics to bring you food and the odd G&T.
...e. As for ablutions, easy. Cut a hole in your flying coat and trousers, your long johns have the flap at the rear, make sure this is unflapped. Get the mechanics to fit up a small funnel under seat (another hole there too) tube leads out of plane and bobs your uncle.

No excuse to miss any patrol now and we can always rig an awning over the plane in bad weather too.

Happy flying, clear skies and safe landings, your wingman Skaffer's.

**Hedeby** · 06-27-2015 02:46

Sorry to hear you've not been well, I have always found you to be a perfect gentleman and a good laugh to boot. Hope you back to full working order sooner rather than later - need you in tip top shape for Doncaster Trev.

Neil,

Thank you, I had to take another pain killer after a bout of uncontrolable laughing. What would we do without your wit and lovable humour, cheers mate.

Trev

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 06-27-2015 11:11

That's Neil for you Trev. Always comes up with a practical answer for everything.

Rob.

Listen to the man ,he's a doctor. Of what I am unsure

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 06-27-2015 13:14

I'd make a crap doctor.

You fixed that part Neil with the hole in the floor & the funnel.

**Naharaht** · 06-27-2015 21:54

It was good to hear from you, Trev, and I am glad that you still have your sense of humour. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
