Finally did it!

Hi all,

Just thought I'd post to say I passed my Skills Test yesterday! Just got to
get all the paperwork sent to the CAA so I can get my license back, and
start thinking about who my first victim (sorry, passenger) is going to be!

Thanks to all for the good advice I've received here over the last year or
so.

RAF Brize Norton.

We are charged £5 per hour for instruction (whether on the ground or in the
air). Exams are free.

Congratulations Andy, its the same situation down under when you get
your license issued, but now they have included a 'fit and proper
person' check (i.e. security background check) it takes even longer
to arrive than it used to.
