Bournemouth here we come!


So that's all the NZ pics worth seeing. Here's the news. Home at last after minor kerfuffle with final flight test. Then spent 2 weeks frantically doing the work I was supposed to have done whilst in NZ before heading down to Bristol for another 2 weeks of hell (groundschool). Actually not so bad this time, bit more relaxed as we had two weeks and as there are only 3 of us left on CP34 now, Matt Luke and I had plenty of space at Churchill Manor! Exams were in Shuttleworth, and that should be the end of all the ATPL theory subjects (unless I've dropped a clanger) which is a big weight off. So for now I'm enjoying a week off in the unseasonably glorious weather before starting the final stage of our piston engine training in Bournemouth. All going to plan, by the end of May we should all have our Commercial Licences and Instrument Ratings and ready for somebody to give us a jet to fly!

Kiwi's Fear Terror Attack


And then remember that nobody would be bothered to travel all the way from the middle east to claim religious superiority over a country that God has clearly already forsaken. Although, I can see why suicide bombing might seem so attractive over here. Anyway, this is the Skytower at midnight.

Seemed like a good idea

Proof that smoking is big and clever.

Seeing Double

This was the sum total of Auckland's talent. Jimbo found it a tough decision.

Cheers!


Actually, now I think of it, this was the night before, New Years Eve Eve if you will. Well, we had to have a dry run to make sure it was going to be a good night.

New Year's Eve!


Now I remember why I haven't updated for so long, had a temper tantrum and stamped my feet at Blogspot because it wouldn't update with pictures. Seems by ignoring it I have taught it a lesson so here are the rest of my NZ pics and some news on what's going on...
