Well said.
The NPPL may not be for everyone, but for lots of people it's ideal. It's also heartening that it's been introduced, and that there are "bureaucrats" who care about making flying more accessible in the UK.
The French aviation press has been singing the praises of the NPPL and asking why they can't have something like it in France, and why they can't have an IMC rating, or 28 day rules so they can have private strips, etc. etc.
The Brits meanwhile (or some of them, at least), don't realise when they've got something good and knock it at the first opportunity.
That's a bit sad, don't you think?
