My Wx III groundschool notes are still in the attic if not already recycled by the mice into a nest
Reminds me of a tale - not apochryphal - from an ex-45 commando, ex BHL then ex- Brunei Shell for 11 years, pilot. On discovering that at 56 he was actually going to have to continue working - something to do with the Shell paying for the kids to go through Gordonstoun, and the not working anymore not, bit, he dutifully accepted his obligation to return to the BHL fold and return to Nigeria. On searching through several cases of junk in his garage in Aberdeen (well somewhere close) he found several boxes of shredded papebacks and other documents, that had served the mice well in his 11 year absence.

In amidst the paper pulp was a mint condition, untouched, Nigerian licence, circa 1979, all set for renewal! Praise the Lord !! (obviously Scottish mice have more sense than you might imagine

Anyway, back to the Wessex.....
