I'm kicking myself now!
I bought the £500 PPL starter kit in August last year.
Since then I've been ill and theres been a whole load of reasons why I havn't been able to get flying and I still have 3 hours left to take.
I've only got 3 hours on my PPL to date so those extra 3 hours that i was still hoping to claim is a substantial amount!
I know there are people much worse off than myself, and i feel a great deal of sympathy for them. Flying is an expensive business, especially with the way the economy is just now.
