I can still remember my first solo as clear as if it was yesterday and it was 55 years ago.
My instructor said that I'll remember it for the rest of my life, every single detail of it.. Temperature, what everybody said etc
Excellent, well done. I think my first solo is coming up soon. Had 2 and half hours on circuits or so at Sherburn, although I know I wont be waiting for any A320s there!
- You'll have so much fun, my smile still has not gone yet!
You did not have much practice at circuits then did you, how did you manage to cover emergencies etc in just 40 mins!! 
Ah, on a not so good day a few lessons back we practiced go arounds and engine faliure on takeoff using the local reservoir as a runway. Performed a go around on Sunday prior to going solo for a valid reason - student pilots taking too long to backtrack
