Ah sorry, didn't understand your banter. Actually the local service club here in Lincoln do training for £100 an hour in a 152 so 6K seems pretty reasonable for PPL and rest of stuff. Maybe if you did it in min hours (do you still get credits for silver C? Can't remember now) there might even be a night rating in there as well. I'm ex avionics engineer so not exactly a stranger to the fanned glider. At least I should be good at power off landings.........(why do they call them forced landings, it's just a landing
)
Orf to Orstralia in a minute on the quite wondrous A380 so I'll be off here for a couple of months.
