FBW,
Good to hear you're getting yourself back into the sky. I am sure I have spoken to yourself and others at Scottish whilst flying out of Oban and Cumbernauld. You guys and girls are always polite and never express any sort of frustration even with the pilots who sometimes fluff their calls, for that I commend your professionalism.
If you ever fancy a bit of flying around the Oban area both my brother and I would be more than happy to take you for a jolly. As other posters have alluded to it's good to put a face to a voice.
Anyway best of luck with your flying endeavours and I am sure you will have little difficulty achieving the NPPL.
Regards MF
