Thanks for your replies so far.
Being fascinated by aviation from such a young age, and always watching big jet aircraft land, it always assumed to me, when starting my flying lessons, that a mile or so from touchdown you would have the airplane in a nose high attitude, and once over the threshold, reducing power and bring the nose up more to increase the flare...obviously i see this is not the case, however i have not tried such a thing to see if that works or not.
I guess it's just a case of practice make perfect! Looks like i'll be spending some more time in the circuit...
Oh and for those interested, the airport is Lydd, in Kent (UK)- EGMD, Asphalt Rwy- 4900ft....737's are capable of landing on it, not 152's piloted by myself d'oh
