It's nothing cloak-and-dagger, it's simply that my priorities have needed refocussing just recently, and Pprune was occupying far too great a proportion of my life. This, as you can imagine, was not popular with various people who are very important to me!
I am around occasionally, but I will be here far less than I was hitherto, at least for the next few months. PMs may take even longer to get answered than usual! I hope all is well with you all in the meantime - and I hope you've read the article in 'Flight' this week about shortages of instructors due to the industry's voracious appetite for new pilots. You really have never had it so good!
Cheers
