People keep going on about his instructor, I know vince and his instructor and i know it took many hours (i think it was 70) to pass his NPPL (M) i did mine in 25 hours at the same time as vince with the same instructor (I now have a JAR PPL)

Soon after Vince passed he "disapeared"

He came back a few weeks ago after the few years absence and asked his instructor to sign him off. His instructor REFUSED as he needed further training and Vince got the hump and "found someone else" to sign him off. No one at our club is aware of the identity of this person as Vince would not tell any one.

just a thought, what was the Qnh/Qfe at dundee as Vince may have still beem on 1013 and could explain why he was scared of the bridges etc as he could have been much lower than his instruments were showing??

I have flown G-VINH and it has one of these all in one lcd type set ups (not an EFIS) and it is tricky setting QNH
