If you are ever cleared to a position on an airfield and you encounter a red light stop bar ALWAYS inform ATC. It is possible that either yourself or ATC have made a mistake.
I must confess - I have done this once in one of my solo circuit sessions, thinking it was ok to cross as I had been given clearance, but from now on, I will stop and confirm with the tower
A head torch would be ideal would it not? Even if you do look a complete idiot
I aint even finished my PPL yet and I getting itchy to fly at night - good work and keep up the posts.
