Thanks everyone,
I was pleased it didnt make me feel sick but it was for only 30mins.
Was not effected at all with 20-45degree banks,but only with the 90degree bank and what seemed vertical climbs(could not be certain at what degree as my head was forced between my legs!!)
If this is not usual for a first flight experience the instructor should chill a bit for the sake of others,but i thought he was a really nice chap and easy to talk to.

The reason I was concerned about loosing concentration was cus the third 90degree bank included a rapid descent and i just lost my bearings and noticed the old cessna 172 peaking in the red and i could not handle the G's.

I just thought i wasnt cut out to be a pilot,but first go and hoping,as discussed i will get used to the feeling.

I asked the trusted one to my right if i could give the fourth 90degree bank a miss as i was a we bit tired,but so pleased i managed to land the plane,only once producing red over red,bit of power and back on track!!!
