A Happy Ending

A Happy Ending.

I did try getting evidence of my pass at Higher English from my old school in Scotland, they said they only kept records on students going back 5 years, I said I was talking about 35 years ago !!

I went down to the DCA to meet Mr Williams and the whole episode was done and dusted in about 15 minutes tops. I showed my JAA licence (which has the magic words English Proficiency) and he said that that would do. Although as no Level was mentioned I may have to sit the English Test at my next renewal. So watch this space.

My licence was re-validated with an end of May expiry - so only good for 11 months, this is due to the rather annoying DCA habit of only renewing your licence up to the date of your Medical expiry. My first MY PPL licence was only valid for 2 months and I was told this was a one off and everything would be 12 months in future. Ho Hum.
