Would it be possible to base a couple of Doves at EGSS soley for type rating training flights? They seem to be everywhere except at Stanstead where the training flights originate!!

Hi Nigel
We talked about this at the time and now.. I've forgotten the conclusion

I think the outcome was, Dove's are so prolific that if you fancy getting a TR back.. have a look where one is and pick a flight to that airfield in the aircraft you're in then do a TR enroute so to speak. Can't be sure now so I'd better go and have a look. That sounds reasonable though.. I think ;-)
