Just passed the I.R at Leeds, partial first shot then polished it off second go. I cannot give enough praise to Leeds Flying School and the CFI Kevin Rowell, Dylan Dowd and the Denson family for getting me through with the minimum pain/cost and maximum understanding/ enjoyment. If anyone is looking at a school for the CPL or I.R then you could do a lot worse, anyway time to go to the pub and get well and truly slaughtered.
Regards
Captain Doleboy.

Flying at LBA can be a challenge but if anything it teaches you the job as the weather is rarely if ever VFR.

Well Done! Glad you faired well at Leeds and they havent dropped their standard since I was there. Now start saving for that instructors rating. Doh!

Well done pal ... I remember the day I passed my IR ... it was without a doubt the hardest thing I've ever done, and the stress levels were like superhuman proportions before and during ... I don't know if you felt like that but I'm sure you'll agree, it's an absolutely magic feeling when you've passed it, isn't it :) :)

"G-REAT" news Congratulation, I am an ex student from Leeds Flying School and enjoyed every minute while I was there but flying VFR for my PPL was a little interesting to say the least.
Good Luck, to the future
