I seem to remember that we had a discussion about the 1 hour flight with an Instructor and could you land away on this flight.
If you do land away that would be two flights and the rules said that it should be one.
The CAA agreed that if you land away that is TWO FLIGHTS but if they were both in the same day it would count for this purpose.
We seem to be looking at the same problem now from a different angle.
For what its worth I logged qualifying cross countries as three flights and had no problems from Gatwick.
