hehhe. yup. I won it. I have quite a large collection of models, and have a new addition to my fleet!

Whoa, I dont blame anyone except ourselves for the asylum crisis. The problem is Blair wants the asylum vote so he does little about it. I would do exactly the same as the French if I was them (let them through the channel tunnel pretty easily).

I can assure you vatsim is the best. But if you dont know how to fly properly or you dont know the CORRECT ATC procedures (not the FS ones!) then dont try and use it without getting some lessons first. BAVirtual are good for that, website at http://www.bavirtual.co.uk
You cant compare any of the FS traffic addons, purely because you are talking through a microphone to another human being. There are many pilots, and there are many VATCO’s (the ATC guys!). It is serious, and although its a game, its a very serious game. Nothing better than flying online with real air traffic controllers and other real pilots flying for many different airlines.

Parachut plane by the looks of it. Could work out the reg. but I think its a parachute plane. Not quite sure what happened, but my guess is that the pilot believed he could make it to Dunkeswell, only to have an engine failure when he was quite low and then didnt have much choice in terms of fields for landings. It looked like he had hit a tree head on, but it could be that it just flipped on its front due to the bad surface. The aircraft was situated about 10 feet from a set of trees.

I learn at Dunkeswell, will go up and find out more if I can tomorrow. They say its none of our pilots, however, we dont often get many visitors. Weather wasnt brilliant up here either.

Ah. I take it their 735’s arent leased, is so, why are they loosing/getting rid of their 735’s for 733’s?

They are getting rid of 735’s for 733’s?

I dont see what you have to worry about. If the oral exam is important and he fails you then ask for a remark, and if they decline take them to court if you want. And if the oral exam isnt important then dont worry if you do badly, because it isnt important!
If you arent worried that he will fail you and you are worried he will confront you with the issue; stand by what you have said – without loosing your temper. Bite your tongue if you have to, but remember, he has more authority than you, so if you keep calm and explain why you think this and that then who knows, he may agree with you!
