Cor, I hate to ask the begged question however.....is there a CAA approved "chit chat" frequency that might be hidden under the title of "air to air" frequency?
Or....is it an impossibility for a CAA licensed and JAA blessed pilot to merely "chat" while flying? Would that not be quite unprofessional and just not cricket? Surely passing tips about the daily crossword puzzle over such a frequency would be very offensive to the Crats I guess. (Not that ever happened amongst Big Al's Flying Circus intrepid airmen.)
