fisbangwallop,
the "airtraficker" keeps his kitfox behind my Cherokee at Strathaven. If you want a flight ( in a real aeroplane) "e" mail me and we can arrange a flight anytime that suits you. Re picking a field -that believe it or not was not an issue.I was taught to fly by Yankee Mike Anderson at Cumbernauld with Merlin Flying club of unfond memory in the late 1990's - so I had done so many PFL's in that area I knew the place of by heart. On reflection if this happened again I would be in a position to do it better. What was going through my mind was a friend had a similar occurance some years before in an Arrow and had to return to Edinburgh in IMC. He just made it - the engine seized on approach and he got charged £3,500 for recovery services!! Anyway let me know if you want to fly
