First useful tip.....don't appear reluctant to go anywhere, there is massive competition for these jobs.
Second useful tip......it doesn't matter because you will have a fantastic time where-ever you end up.
Third useful tip....decide now what is more important, your career or concerns over baggage...the answer will tell you more about yourself.
You find me in serious mode for once, I too am from Blackpool; I used to pedal down to Squires Gate on my way to school to watch the Autair Ambassador take-off for Luton [what an incredible sound those Bristol Centaurus 661's made on the world's most beautiful aircraft], and pedal over to Warton to watch the TSR-2 fly [ that defines the word "awesome"]..anyway that got me hooked.
Your attitude should be that you want this job more than anything else in the world, and if you don't.....well the guy behind you at the interview certainly will.
The very best of luck!
