About a year ago, I heard from my neighbour about how their son was about to embark of flying training which would see him spending time in Coventry before going out to Jordan (I think...) for further training. Eventually to end up with a commercial airline pilot's licence. My jaw dropped when they told me that they were funding the £80,000 ish cost of the course.
So OP what happened to your "neighbour" Have you moved or fell out with them ?
