Cheers for the consolation messages
Think I'm going to get a job in the subject I did at uni (graphic design) and start flying lessons again to get an NPPL(M) as the NATS thing rekindled my interest in aviation. Whoever said you don't get scrap paper for the cubes: I did Stage 1 at NATS CTC and we were given scrap paper, don't know if its changed in the last month?
