Hiya guys, Well duffster if you want to try b4 you buy as they say, why don't you contact Wynnwith on 01483748201 & try a short contract down @ ATC in Lasham, Hants. Their No. is 01256356123. They carry out C & D checks on a variety of older A/C mainly 737's & DC8's & it makes for a good training ground as someone mentioned earlier experience counts for a lot & most of the guy's there have been in aviation maintenance for a fair ole time.
By the way Blacksheep you've hit the rivet right on the head mate. It's definately something that you HAVE TO love enough to put up with all the unsociable hours & other B/ s**t that goes with the job most of the time. It's a kharma thing. You only get satisfaction of job well done. Nothing more.
