What a good idea- can i cheekily come along even though i haven't started training yet?
We all talk online so much it's probably the sociable natural progression 
London would be great for me.

Lucy - of course you can come along - you're just the person these evenings (sim or not) are supposed to benefit.
helimutt - were you referring to Wycombe?
Looks like the 23rd at Wycombe at the moment - just have to confirm with Heli Services

Phil,
The offer of 'help' still stands should you need it
(work permitting)
Gary, any news on that 'lead' we discussed??? Not been back 'there' for a couple of weeks but back again soon if you'd like me to remind them

OK, we're on for the 23rd! Please remember that the sim is a limited resource, and we aim to give as many people as we can around 10-15 mins. Having said that, all are welcome! Somewhere around 1900 at Helicopter services at Booker will do it.

Yeah, just turn up! You need the A404 turn off on the M40 on the other side of the M25 car park, so down the M11, round the top, up the M40 off on to the 4010, follow signs for Booker and if some vandal hasn't turned the sign the wrong way round you should see it on your right after you have crossed over the M40

Sorry I Can't make Monday I am off to Edinburgh now, not back till Tuesday.
For the rest of you, I have deliberately held off putting a date on the next evening by me, just because of the uncertainty of where I am from day to day at the moment due work, that changes on 1 July so I hope to have something set up in July for Coventry and Leeds.
Cheers

Wycombe 23rd
Huge thanks to Leon (and Phil) for the evening last night . The sim IMC session lived up to expectations 
and the general chat was fascinating as usual, especially the discussion about JAA vs FAA training styles.
Now I just need to find a real helicopter with the flight characteristics and costs of the sim (Leon described it as a B206 with twin squirrel power).
I look forward to the next evening.

Very challenging and a great experience...... look forward to doing my IR in a year or 2 even more now 
Many thanks to Leon and Phil - and lets not forget Dave (?) who was actually adjusting the torture level.
