Due to a raft of medical conditions (heart surgery at 19) being the least of my problems I never stood a hope in hells chance of being granted a licence. From 16 onwards I bumbled about the sky on the odd gliding holiday having gained A and B certs in the ATC. I took up model flying as poor substitute. Trouble is the older I get the worse the itch becomes it just won't go away. The question is are there many folk out there following a ppl course for the ppl of it knowing that they can never qualify? Yes its daft yes its expensive but I'd like to read personal experiences from anyone in the same boat. If I decide to go for it the likely bolt hole will be either Netherthorpe or Gamston.
