Apologies for no posts for a time - been a busy period and now catching up a little as the wind today is gusting 40 knots at the moment and the cloud is pretty low. Good day for groundschool or aircraft polishing!

Many congratulations to Paul Osborne from Scilly who passed his NPPL Skills tests, did his last ground exam, flew his solo navigation flight all in a two week period in October.

He is now the holder of a pilot's licence and no doubt will be coming quite regularly from St Mary's Airport on Scilly to Land's End. He is our first 'home grown' student (not trained elsewhere during his flight training) and we are very proud of him getting through the final stages so quickly. We do not underestimate the hard work put in on his behalf getting through the ground exams in the time he did. Well done!
