Congratulations Simon. This ppruner had the honour and privelige of "flying" the Merlin sim at Benson shortly after being grounded by multiple sclerosis.
Quite a step-up from JetRangers and Twin Squiggles but truly wonderful medicine..and a great bunch of guys .
* For those who may use the word "taxpayer" in subsequent replies, I paid my dues from 1965 til my diagnosis in '97!!
Cheers bm
