Sorry Mazzy, not trying to hijack your thread
Take that back!
Thanks for that CB - very good post indeed, a good insight as to what I can expect too here in UK. It's a good achievement if you ask me, to have done it twice. Please do keep us informed about your adventures in OZ
Data - I know the feeling, I presume it is one of the hardest things to get done in the PPL, along with the skills test. I have actually booked some more time off from the 3rd October, hopefully to get the solo done myself, so I really hope I get some good weather, or I will be seriously peeved (that’s UK flying for you though eh).
Michael, good question........... The way it went was to contact London Info after departing Wolverhampton, they asked us then to report Crewe, when they knew would most likely be changing to Manchester, which we did. Another reason for us using London Info was to utilise the practice PAN (we never did this on the day, but is something we will be covering on another flight).
Cheers all, hope to be posting another big one again soon and do keep up posting your experiences.
