Yes, good luck indeed Lister, I've got my fingers crossed for you!
This next bit is lifted directly from "the other place". Sorry, I'm just too tired to type a different post!
"Just returned from a fantastic few hours of flying.
I'm very tired now, so will post a little report tomorrow.
However, I've done my QXC and I'm well chuffed! Because I hadn't flown in a month or so, I needed a checkout. Was decided to do a fairly full one, including steep turns, PFLs, stall, spiral dive and a couple of landings. That was 55 minutes, and my QXC was 2H35. So I am indeed very tired after an enjoyable 3H30 flying! Route was Newcastle - overhead Silloth - Carlisle - Teesside (now known as Durham, very confusing!) - Newcastle.
Well chuffed! Watch this space.
Cheers!"
Happy flying everyone!
