Hi ALL!!
Very interesting stuff here. I myself have been humming and hawing over moving back to the Uk after living abroad for some time. I've finished my PPl here in SA and have almost completed my hour building and as luck would have it have run out of money. BUGGER!!!!!!! I had sold my flat to pay for my PPL and then when that money ran out I started working for my flying school in return for six hours a month. Never saw a single hour so I left. However I was determined to stay here and fininsh my training then disaster struck while I was away with some friends for a weekend in the bush. My brother had just returned to University and as he was coming home, three armed b****ds jumped him in his drive. They made him get out of the car and made him lie on the ground. They had guns pointed at his head and they took everything. As one of them was about to pull the trigger (he'd been threatening this for some time) there were sirens. Thank ****!!!! One of his room mates had seen the whole thing and called the police. Ive got my tickets booked and plan to never set foot in this place ever again!!!! Regardless of the fun times Ive had flying around here. Im going back to Ireland and will work ten jobs if it means that I get my CPL. This is something I want really bad (doesnt everyone??) and dont care if I have to spend the next 20years living in a flea hole paying back a bank loan. However www, do understand where your coming from and can appreciate it.
It all depends on how badly you want it and I CAN NOT go back to an office job. It would do my head in.
Congradulations on your loan Ratpup and best of luck. And when your sitting in your flea hotel, think about why you did it - TO FLY.......
Ciao
