JWF. Sounds like you had an interesting day!! The weather was not too bad at E.Mids today, but not good enough for my final solo landaway (which should have happened after I had got my currency back this morning with a landaway at Leicester with the instructor). The cloud base was scattered at around 1800, and we ended up going over the top at times. An absolute "no no" of course, except with the boss sat with me.
Anyway, at least I'm current for landaway again now, and enjoyed the company of a different instructor than normal. Hopefully I'll get the final landaway, and the QXC in before Xmas, but somehow ,this time of the year I doubt it!!
Cheers all, and if I don't post again before, have a great Xmas and successful New Year. PPL's for one and all, I trust in 2006!!
