I don't think you can get an initial license issue on the spot at Gatwick, in fact I'm sure you can't. Mine took 16 days from posting to receiving it back. I did a couple of trips with my instructor in that time and have them logged as P1/S. Solo is P1 obviously.
Yeah, that is right. I think it used to be possible, once upon a time, but to justify the increases in fee's for licence issuance, it must now apparently take longer to process?
