Hi,
Thanks for the input - it will be touch and go anyway. I have just got my PPL(H) test past, and only just (last week) sent off the paperwork - so I doubt this will be back in time for my SA trip in 2 weeks !!
I might have a leson or 2 time permitting (just means I won't have any docs - but for a lesson that should not matter !?)
Might do a tourist flip over Cape Town for the experience anyway.....
