Thanks for all of your responses.
As things happen I have passed on the flight details to a company who deals with Ferry Flights called 'Wings of Eagles'. If they do the flight I might well ask to come along. All the same, I had decided not to go without necessary safety equipment (ELT, life raft, sub-mersion suite, HF comms).
Also I've got an interview on Thursday and if by a stroke of luck I get selected the course starts on Monday (here's hopeing!)leaving no time for the flight.
Happy Landings all,
ZSB
