I recently passed my skills test and finally got my licence in my hand on Monday past so recognise the frustration you face. I also work part-time at my airfield (Headcorn in Kent). We have four Robins here and a grass strip that is still in operation despite all the rain. Another bonus we have is a corridor out of the R112 olympic zone, so no need to file a flightplan with Atlas. We have a very accommodating CFI so if I can be of assistance, send me a pm to discuss further.
