I have a problem with the DC-3. Unless some kind soul can fly a DC-3 to EGCC there is nowhere I can do the TR from as no DC3 at a training location.

On my way to Manch with one now for you, but it is a bit strange that the training routes are not from a DC3 base ...

Hi Simon, Actually I did not see any DC-3 flights for you on FSA, I just gave you the training rating for the DC-3.

Six TR's completed on the Super Constellation. I think I have a handle on those enormous fowler flaps now ;)
