First Post & First Solo
Hello everyone, this is my first post and I would just like to mention that I also did my first solo flight earlier today at Shoreham Airport after passing my Air Law 
Thanks to Shoreham ATC who were very friendly as always and my instructor.

Callum,
Congratulations!!!
I did my first solo back on the 13th of this month and I am still feeling hyped about it. It's quite an experience huh? I wonder if you looked down at the empty right hand seat as often as I did!

Congratululations
.
I was flying circuits at Shoreham this afternoon at around 2pm when someone completed their first solo and the controller congratulated them - might have been you!
Hopefully it might be me in a couple of weeks. I flew with the CFI today who really doesn't beat around the bush when you **** up which really brought a few things home for me.

Thanks for your replies everyone - I found the empty seat came in handy for putting my checklists on 
Adam, I got back from my first solo flight at 12:10 so it might not have been me - I was in golf-yankee-tango (C152).
Luckily I didn't get time to feel nervous - it all came as a surprise because I'd actually booked a lesson for my solo next week so I wasn't expecting to do it.
