There seems to be an increasing number of British people that are leaving the UK and heading off in the direction of Australia, New Zealand and Canada to name a few. I suspect the main reason is that so many of us believe that due to a general and overall mess that consecutive bumbling governments have made of the country over the past couple of decades, there is very little left for those of us who remember what it used to be like. Flying in particular has been hit hard by silly and generally overblown legislation. So although it may be a little off theme of this thread I would be interested to hear from Skiddy, why he chose to go, how easy it is to arrange and how the flying scene over there compares to here in the UK.
