055166K, Um.... er...., I cannot argue with your maths. It was never my strong point. Well done, you win a cookie - I thought I had concealed that rather well. However, it does highlight the question, why were NATS cadets/students/trainees never bonded?
AlanM and any others I have used strong words to in the past. Almost certainly well deserved at the time. At least I never used the technique of one (long retired) instructor, whose entire debrief to the hapless stude consisted of a long pregnant pause, followed by the immortal words "you're wasting my f
ing time you are". Admittedly the exercise had been pretty dire but one is supposed to find at least one good thing about it.
silenthandover Thanks but it looks quite nice parked next to the 748, BAC1-11, DC9, VC9, Trident, etc from the same source.

I must have been slipping! Seriously, stay with it - the hill gets steeper but the view is well worth the climb.
Merry Mid-winter Solstice to you all, or whatever it is you celebrate at this end of the year (not wishing to offend anyone).
