Very funny Tricky!!(only if reading it and not flying it though)...
For me quite a tame first solo in comparison to Tricky...
On the downwind leg, ATC call was for me to be number 2 and follow the "Beech 45" - sorry can't remember whether this was actually the name of the a/c - as was in a bit of a blue funk as had NO IDEA want a "Beech 45" was...
Cool response to ATC "Number 2 follow the Beech 45 etc"
Panic - can't now see said a/c
See an a/c - start to follow - more blue language in the cockpit as have never been so far away from the runway in a circiut (having been taught a tight circuit pattern)... a/c seems to be on its way overseas to Russia ... with me following.
Finally after a lifetime (or so it seeemed) the a/c in front turns base. HUGE relief..
Rest of circuit - uneventful
Landing - pretty good under the circumstances (hands shaking etc..)
Moral - always ask if you don't understand !!!!
