I agree that classroom time was rare - perhaps a bit during bad weather days ?
Somebody must have told me about the '45 deg rule'
Did my P1 at 613 Halton with the then CFI Phil Plows; missed out on the 'D' cat because Phil gave me the P1 as a sort of 'reward' because it was near the end of a summer course and I had been the sole winch driver.
Some time later, Ken Bayliss (aka 'KGB') the next CFI at 613 did my P2 checks after 5 launches on a rough day with a strong crosswind.
