Without lowering myself into an argument, some people may not have read my message correctly!!

I said:

I have never been up in a small aircraft before.
The wind was very rough and the plane was blown everywhere
Luckily I hadn't eaten much or else it may have come back up.

This was a rescheduled trial; because my original time on Sat at 1pm had been cancelled. If anyone heard the wind on Saturday around EGLD then maybe you would understand. TPC were very professional and phoned me to let me know when it was possible to fly again. So up I went the following day as soon as it was deemed possible.

The instructor did warn me that it could be turbulent and agreed that we could come back if I didn't feel well. He also mentioned that at 10am it was very unpleasant and still a condition for cancellation.

I’m sorry that I can't match the skills of some professional stunt hell raisers on here. It was merely a trial lesson and the feelings I encountered at times were very unpleasant.
