I remember it well...my instructor and I are still good friends, he flies EasyJet now, but he was a real joker. Had a lovely day at Eglinton airport in Londonderry, did a few circuits with him in a 152, then when we landed he had me stop at an intersection beside the GA apron....to my horror he called the twr asking for 1st solo, then jumped out, slammed the door and ran off!!! Talk about fear!
All was well though...
