Thank you all for your responses. I could drive down from the Derby area, but I'm not sure that it would do me a lot of good. The whole situation is ridiculous. I guess that I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I don't know what I'll do if it hasn't appeared by the weekend. I'm a paid by the hour instructor who was already stuggling to pay the bills. This could wipe out any savings that I still have. It's all rather stressful. I hate to think how long newly qualified pilots are going to have to wait for their licences.
