Started a 4 week PPL crash course at Welshpool in August 1999

Bought a share in a Cessna 150 March 2000 at Barton to hour build

Started ATPL correspondence course September 2001 which took me 3 years due to working full time long hours shift work.

Started CPL January 2005, finished IR Sept 2005 at Ravenair, Liverpool.

After 8 and a half years working on the ramp at Manchester, just handed my notice in and start a job on an Embraer 145 jet in 3 weeks time.

Aged 39, just under 500 hours Modular.

Never give up, never look to far ahead and just take 1 step at a time.

Remember, there is always someone behind you with regards their training, wishing they were in your shoes.
