Weetabix, would be interested to see how you get on over there. I'll be going out in July to do my biennial renewal and some flight time - have also been promised some trips in a Citabria by a guy I correspond with, so should be a good trip.
Whirly, can you just confirm that no problems encountered with any of your aviation kit in the hand baggage? I was planning on the headsets going into main luggage, with logbooks etc staying with me.
