Hi Stampe, yes I do believe we have met. i am still at POP at the moment and so is DA, although he may also be retiring soon. But you know what TOM is like. they can't make their minds up!
I've owned it for seven years now and logged around 500hrs. I was thinking about doing the inst rating before I come back. Can I use an FAA inst rating in the UK? Is there such a thing as night VFR in the UK?
I used to live in Hove before I moved here, so Shoreham was my nearest airfield. But we are now looking at South Wales for our relocation. I was considering keeping it at Cardiff or St Athan (I was stationed there for my last tour in the RAF)
I'm also wondering about availability of an FAA DME to do my medicals and a CFI to do my biannual flight reviews. There must be some in Blighty.
