In which case Biggles perhaps he wasn't ready for a first solo? Or should ask the SMC to say again?

You would at Archerfield clearedtoreenter! I think it really depends on the circumstances, if there was only one aircraft or no potential conflict whether the aircraft did a touch and go or a full stop maybe they made the decision not to bother getting back on the radio again, perhaps there was something more urgent to attend to? It really depends on the situation I would think.

Might want to re-think that comment.
Sure George would take exception to your statement.

Good point MakeItHappenCaptain, I in no way meant that negatively towards the Tower Folk at Archy, or any other location for that matter.

I know I've made some fairly stupid radio calls at Archerfield during and after my training, it's in no small part thanks to the very talented folks in Archy Tower being able to decipher what I said and know what I meant and/or call me up on it when appropriate that has stopped those mistakes from bringing myself and others to grief :P

But the underlying point remains valid. Each GAAP - sorry, I meant metropolitan D or whatever the current fake descriptor for GAAP happens to be - has its own 'endearing' differences from the others, that seem to be driven by local 'personalities' rather than compliance with some objective, external standard.
