Thanks for the best wishes, Brooklands, but due to delays in getting insurance paperwork from the owner (this is the first time the club have tried to use this a/c for training and it's only leased from a local owner), they weren't prepared to go ahead and use it for training (OK, the pedants might argue familiarisation!!).
Still, got current in their 172 (and got the feel for a 172 again, having not flown one for around 4.5 yrs!), practiced entry / exit routes from EDI zone that I hadn't used before (including flying in over the city centre - land clear for that would have to be the airport!!). Hopefully will start the 182 in earnest next week.
