Lifes a Beech,
Yes indeed, a D17S Staggerwing................. utter bliss........!!
Now to your gripe. The CAA publish service standard times which they do try to meet. This includes FCL. Write to Graham Forbes who is Head of Personel Licensing if you feel they did not, by a significant margin, meet their own published standards of service. He needs to know.
Usually the problem is an incorrect application in some respects. I have seen a few myself and marvel at the stupidity of some folk, and this includes the examiners............!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoever said my pension was gold plated needs to think again. It works out at being around 120% of that given to me by Alastair Darling. Put the two together and it means a frugal, but satisfactory and enjoyable, time in retirement.
Thanks for the reminder of that great actor Francis Urquahart. I really miss his talent on the box.
Cheers,
Trapper 69
