Thanks folks for all your kind words. I do intend to send my application recorded delivery with every bit of insurance going, and hopefully my "licence to learn" will arrive in a few weeks.
Cheers DOC, mum is proud, can tell that just by looking at the empty champers bottles!
LNS, dunno whats next, probably just getting a bit more experience then on to the night or IMC, we shall see, but I think it's time to learn the ways of the Warrior and get on a PA28.
With regards to the blow by blow account, what do you wanna know? I'd be glad to tell you all.
