Blackshirt, I would highly recommend you get yourself a radio scanner and Sensible is right about the prejudice issue, you will get a lot of smartasses criticising your every decision. The scanner has helped me to overcome my greatest fear - RT. Apparantly Stapleford (Essex) "specialise" in preparing US trained PPL's for "British standards" but Stapleford's prices are quite scary so I dunno if I want to be trained to British standards quite yet. <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
