What have you seen, experienced or done that you're unlikely to do/see again?
I was lucky enough to live in a country when it gained independence from Britain. I'm unlikely to ever do that again. |

Saw baby turtles hatching and watched them scrambling down the sand to the ocean on an island off the coast of Australia. There were only two of us on the whole beach.

I saw killer whales once in Tenerife, that bought a tear to my eye seeing them, I'd love to get up closer to them.
Can't really think of anything else that had that much of an impact on my life to be honest, not one that I would want to revisit again, there are obvious ones of course like the birth of my kids (I'd like to see them actually born not just push them out you know) but there isn't an amazing event, not yet anyway!!

An elephant ride (through an Eco-resort after sleeping in a mud hut made from dumb) on Valentine's Day in Goa with a mini-me in my belly.
Stood in the grounds of a fort on the eastern coast of Cuba watching hurricane Wilma hit land. I've never run so fast in my life!! It was amazing to watch though. |

There are multiple things for me. I have to say a lot of things I have done I can never replace. I used to work as a tv extra and worked on Dr Who and Bastard Executioner. I've met great people, such as John Barrowman and Johnny Depp. But the moment that always holds close to me is when I found out about the course I am on now in my university and how much more happier I am now in my life |

There's a fact I never knew... Until very recently...
Did you know that "Killer Whale" ( Orcinus orca ) is ACTUALLY a mid-translation?
It was (wrongly) translated from what the Spanish ( who were the first to identify the species ) originally named them.
They are actually closer in relation to the Dolphins than the "true" whales, and the Spanish "name" for them was actually "Whale Killer".
Blimey, you learn something new everyday eh folks!

A long time ago when I was a hairy arsed joiner and carpenter my mate and I were having dinner ( as opposed to lunch) in our van when this 6 year old kid ran out in front of the van and was hit by a car. It was quite horrendous and we immediately jumped out of the van and ran over to the toddler expecting the worse. The little one just got up and ran to his distraught mum. The paramedics checked him out and took him to hospital. Next day mum and toddler came and found us on the site to say thank you. The toddler had a grazed knee and a sore backside. |

Once made a short cut across a local park in Fiji where a rugby game was in full swing, how were we to know it was the Fijian national rugby team practicing! Ended up having a laugh and getting our photos taken with them all.  |

Maybe not in anger, but they would definitely have test-fi_ed them. Both the county-class destroyers and the type 21 frigates were armed with exocet missile launchers.

OP: We all got tickets to the women's football final at the Olympics in London, as well as semi-finals of the basketball.
I doubt we'll ever have that chance again.

I went to boarding school and was in the CCF (Combined Cadet Force), as most of the RAF section had taken up the parachute places on our annual field day, I got to fly a 2 seater Chipmunk from RAF Abingdon aged 16, the wings vibrated so much on take off I thought they were going to fall off |

Snap!
Though I was in the Navy, the date the RAF section was given fell in half-term, so those of us who lived too far away to go home got to fly instead!

Wales qualified for a major football tournament.
I have waited all my life for this. I am jolly well excited.
I have my wall chart and the Maniacs have made the official song.
Oh happy Taff.

God, the Olympics, how could I forget  I only managed to get tickets for men's volleyball. My ex had an ear infection so I went with a work colleague instead. It was a fantastic day out, thanks for reminding me |

I was a volunteer at the 2012 Olympic games. Met some amazing people (and Seb Coe) that I'll probably never meet again.
When I was about 5 years old, I played on the great organ in the Blackpool Tower ballroom (that sounds awfully rude now). I don't even know if it's still there. |

I voluntee_ed at the European Special Olympics when they were in Glasgow in 1990. Brilliant few days of watching and helping sportsmen and women with additional support needs compete and enjoy themselves.
I was at prestwick airport to see the last time the Vulcan will ever fly in Scotland last August. |

I flew on Concorde on a special charter flight which left London, back across South and West Wales, Ireland and beyond, which included supersonic speed and reaching the edge of space, where we could see the black space meeting the blue skies in the curve of the atmosphere, before heading back to London.
It was quite a unique experience and all captu_ed on a digital camera which failed to transfer the photos successfully, so no photos to show, just the commemorative glasses and certificate, plus the actual champagne glass which accidentally fell into my bag whilst on the plane.
Definitely won't be able to repeat that one again.

When I was in the RAF I had a back seat trip in a T10 Harrier, at the time it was amazing and even more so now as they were scrapped by the government shortly afterwards |
