Thanks Alan,
will try then as i was treating Missus to a day out at Dux & was disappointed when i told her i was too late & all morning slots had gone, Was coming down from Sandtoft in a C152 which i have booked for all day till 16.00hrs. If i came at 12.00hrs we would only have been able to be at Dux for 2 hours which wasn't worth coming down for. My own fault.
If i still don't manage to get through or get someone's cancellation will still take her somewhere else, just have Old Buck or Peterborough in mind as reserve destinations.
Cheers Trev
