I did'nt close the thread, but in hindsight, I wish I had never started it.
It was unfair of me to have made the remarks that I did, there were factors involved that I did not take into account, and took for granted, which effected this guys flying on the said day, ie, flying from a grass strip with only 650m to play with, yes I know that is more than enough when you are used to it, but if you are use to flying from the hard stuff and with plenty of it, need I go on.........
I think it fitting that I retract my statements from the original thread, as to stamp down on anothers performance is as stated before, not on.
My original post should not have been an attack of anothers performance, but a statement of my own frustration of having no one to fly the students!!
Mr S, please accept my appolagees for causing you embarrassment, my post was totally off the mark and unfair, as stated above I fly with these conditions all the time and as such I take it for granted that they are the norm.....when in fact they are not.
