Today at the field Neil Saxton successfully pasted his BMFA FW A test.Neil flew the test very confidently and I had no hesitation in passing him.
Neil flew his first solo flights whilst I was still at the field and looked to be thoroughly enjoying himself,well done Mr S.
Well done Neil. Knew you could do it.
Well done Neil .
Well done to Neil. Another one ticked off the list. We only have 31 members now, who do not have an ‘A’ certificate of any sort. I think its time for me to pack in the tuition and let someone else rattle through the other 31.
Martin.
Well done Neil, but i’ve got to say you’ve had some good people teaching you.
Andrew.
Any chance you could take me for my A test Darren!!
Andrew.
Well done Neil. Knew you would get there soon.Ā Bob. B.
If you want to take it again Andrew, I’m sure Darren as A.C.E. and I could get your original pass from 2016 cancelled as a mistake!!!! š
