it is possible for a logbook to be reasonably neat and tidy (I seem to get tidier as I get older - at-least in my logbook) and contain a lot of "colour" about what you've done and where you've been.
Ah, there speaks the voice of reason! Of course it is. There's a balance between an illegible misspelled scrawl, and the beautiful neat logbook that lives at home...and is six months behind as its owner never quite gets round to transferring the information - I kid you not, I know someone whose "good" log book is like that!
I have one pet hate, and that's using ICAO codes for airfields instead of their full names. I like to know at a glance where I've been, and I won't even abbreviate the airfield name. Space became a bit of a problem the day I flew from Sherburn-in-Elmet to Hinton-in-the-Hedges.
