Thanks pace but it wasn't that bad. Banal in fact, just got me a bollocking in front of a few people. Never really bothered me but I was glad of the lesson. I learned why my instructors were so anal.
I was stopped from flying by the m.o.. Terrible thing old age. Most of my career changes have been medical. Did think of going down the NPPL route but I still have a few friends who take me up.
