Ouch, that sounds nasty. I got stung on my finger today by a bee, my finger was swollen for about an hour and went completely numb. Being stung by dozens of wasps but have been awful. Hope you’re ok now.

WHAT’S THAT HELICOPTER DOING OUTSIDE . . . .

They’ve come for Kylie :p .

Neal

All sorted, have booked 8 hrs so far. Still got 2 to fit in somewhere.

My first lesson is on Tuesday at 1700hrs. Can’t wait.

Neal

I’ll go for the 109E please.

In my earlier post I said I may start my PPL in a month or two. Well, things have changed, it will be in a week or two. At Leicester.

It seems that to pay up front is looked upon as a bit of a no no. Is this purely for the reason of the school going bust.

I have the decision to pay all up front or to get what I need theory and equipment wise and then pay for lessons in blocks of ten hours, aiming for two lessons a week.

Really excited about this now and any advice will be gatefully recieved.

Has anyone here trained at Leicester?

Hi Steph, not a pilot myself but hope to start my PPL during July. I think you did the right thing, you never know if the others have seen you. When I have flown with others and we have seen another aircraft that may possibly converge with us, we took simillar action.

As I said, normally I’d talk to anyone at any time but in this case, I dunno, I just didn’t.

I suppose he’s just a bloke with a Srearman on the day but I am a fan of his acting so I didn’t want to appear to come across like ” Hello Martin, I’m a big fan and love your work”. That would ‘ve been embarrasing for both.
I should of spoke though because if the truth be known I would probably just say Alright mate, nice aeroplane.

Denny Dobson of course 😀

I’ve met Bruce Dickinson twice. Once on the bus between DX and Cambridge and once at DX itself.

I saw Martin Shaw at Olb Buck on Sunday but I bottled out of speaking to him.

Can’t think of anymore apart from a few minor footballers and current display pilots.
