Lovely day today - pity I was one day out of currency to do my last solo land away before QXC, but nevertheless set out to regain currency with a local landaway with my instructor. One mile from East Midlands Airport, I got a phone call to say the Warrior had gone tech. and the other one was in for service.
Ahh that's a familiar feeling.
Think I've said it before (maybe even multiple times): you need (while you';re training towards your PPL) three things - good weather, an instructor and an aeroplane. In my experience it's been 'pick any two of three'!!
