Hi Cyclic
Sorry it was a flippant response, I meant that when you did your IR there was another pilot with you and dual controls fitted (Unless you are allowed to sign of your own IR - I'll have some of that if it is available!) I had a SPIFR rating on the 105 for 12 years till the rules changed, personally I treated IMC as an emergency procedure due to lack of practice.
I have the greatest respect for those like Bondu who flew the 105 out to areas of the North Sea where the charts just said 'there be dragons beyond here!'
Which part of the world do you operate in now Bondu? I reckon I must have bumped into you at some time over the years.
Cheers
