Like the majority of people like to take a back seat at home after retiring, but passionate pilot from world war 2  Gordon Jones is still climbing into the cockpit having just celebrated his 90th birthday.

The great grandfather is one of the world’s oldest pilots and first started flying in a Tiger Moth as a Canadian Air Force recruit in August 1941 aged 18.

In 1992, Mr Jones brought his own Tiger Moth for £30,000 and remarkably later found out he had flown the same plane 10 times before during his service.
