After 20 months of training & study Andy (Nev) passed his flying test today and is now a qualified pilot!  Very Happy

Lets hope he doesn't start flying us to trips now!  Laughing

Congratulations Nev! Guess that's another way to get plenty of AirTime.

Wobbly bob and potentially Wobbly Nev - as he pulls turns he'll announce over the tannoy 'leeeeeeeeeeeaaaannnn'.

btw - Hi Chris! As someone else mentioned the other day - welcome aboard Smile

I think the correct expression is "give him a tug"  Embarassed

Well done Nev, guess Oakwood and Blackpool airports better watch out.

Congratulations Nev your eye sight must be better but I am not going in a plane with you. You would give us all far to much air time

It's rather cramped in a glider cockpit, I doubt there would be enough room!

Now that Nev can fly on his own has anybody noticed that ebay has no anti aircraft guns for sale.

So, now we have the pilots all we need is a nice 55 or so seater jet painted in RCCGB livery Laughing (and a couple of type ratings!! Wink)
