Hey guys,
Thanks for all your help and assistance but as it turned out it wasnt required
The bushfires over Mittagong and Bowral forced me to turn back firstly to Goulborn and then after finding no one there, onto Canberra. (Thanks to all the Canberra Approach and Tower guys who helped me with this very hurried diversion)
But i wasnt too unhappy with that because once i arrived in Sydney (by train) i found the weather pretty crappy and more than happy my aircraft was in sunny Canberra.
I will be trying again in January so hopefully the weather will be a lot kinder then and even if it isnt, ill have an idea of what to do if it all goes wrong.
BTW, how did you find AVIEX hairyman??? I found it quite boring and overrated myself, but it could have been just me. These a thread over on Reporting Points about it which has been interesting reading so far. Be interested to see how you and any one else who went found it.
