On the subject of bags.
I use one of those brief case soft bags you get given when you go to a conference. You can buy them from argus for 10 quid as document satches or some such.
It has room for a ANR headset, over night wash bag, pad of voyage reports and Loadsheets, Scottish highlands chart, yellow vest a couple of torches, pack of batteries for the ANR and a A4 knee board. With plenty of room to spare.
It has a front zip pocket where the license lives and pockets front and back for keys and mobile for going throught the xray. 4 pen holders on the front face and a shoulder strap if thats the way you want to carry it.
Much better than a black box flight bag you seem to get more into it as well. Don't bruise your legs carrying it and its alot more handy to stow.
