Fareastdriver,
Your:
"My eyesight was the problem. I was having diocular divergence again and I wasn’t telling them that I had had it before".
Very wise ! What they don't know doesn't hurt 'em (or you !) I'd got through CMB twice, it seemed, with a spot on one lung (bronchiectasis). I didn't tell them, they didn't find it, and it was only on the third time (after ten years' flying in war and peace) that I was unlucky and got caught. Even then, after I'd been restricted to 10,000 ft, they posted me on a refresher on Meteors -
and the AFS didn't know anything about the restriction !
Again, I saw no reason to tell them, sailed through the Course without difficulty, and reckoned I was well placed to demand my A1G1Z1 back, but CMB wouldn't play. Ah, well.
Wonderful stories, FED, keep it up ! Danny.
