I will say this again as it has been brought up before. If the two norwegien testers are still doing aberdeen. you can see them in norway, pay them some money and if you pass, then you take the same test in aberdeen with the same chaps. Have it on good authority from norway, where young pilots think about paying for their I.R. go and see them to see if they got what it takes.
if you ask me how to get hold of them I don't know now. but it is a slight grey area, not that I'm bitter and I did not get in.
