FFF, those were my concerns exactly. Thank God I'm not too wide of the mark then.. thanks very much for breaking down the various items; I'll do a search for that thread you mentioned.
Richard,
Thanks again;
I need to finish my degree (2.5yrs left!) before I can go for the ATPL's so I'm concerned about paying £400p/a Class 1 without using above Class 2 as required for PPL.
The Thom books, having looked at a few, do seem to be the way to go. I'll be careful with Transair - might be better to get the kit I really want first off, without having to replace later (eg. CRP-5)
you're all beautiful, and so on.
Andy
