By Alex Gore PUBLISHED: 09:32 EST, 25 March 2013 | UPDATED: 10:14 EST, 25 March 2013 Most people like to take a back seat after retiring, but passionate pilot 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.
