Well done indeed and a great set of pictures, how you managed to do that and take pictures!
Standby for the incoming flak regarding your climb into Controlled airspace. I can just imagine all the comments about was it A or D. Can't go IMC in A. (I'm not having a go, but I'd take that bit out!).
As for the radios, I had that problem when we had our Victorian radios, however I subsequently discovered that one of the two does go to 136, so worth checking.
As for the price, wow that's gone up a lot in a couple of years. I am guessing that was off peak too. I also guess that they are saying that they don't want you.
Anyway, well done!
