The definition of last light and the rules relevant to Night VFR did not appear to be in any way a factor in the planing or execution of the flight.
Yes, but it's so much fun casting a bit of burley into the waters and seeing what comes rising to the bait

How about this, the 'old' AIP manual technique: part of the exam IIRC?
