Would this just be someone who I saw regularly to write a letter? I also read that you need to show how you supported yourself financially during this period. Can anyone who's done referencing at LHR help? How would I prove this? I was supported by my wife who paid the bills during flying training and she covered shopping and other expenses.
Probably to be moved elsewhere on the forum but I noticed you said ‘flying training’
If you were at a fight school for six months then this isn’t an issue at all, you were effectively a student. Six months just vanishing off the face of the earth would be more of a problem.
