Re: Shortage of inspectors?

I do think that the Inspector Map must still have a bug. I'm painting about 30 miles SW of where I actually am! Was OK a few weeks back. Not complaining though. Have more than enough on my plate already!

Re: Your Medical - What You Need to Know

Quote: "You can hold a PMD and a UK Medical at the same time." Where does it say this? Or, indeed, the opposite!

I was in their country of origin the weekend before last, doing the Annual on a G-regd Hornet Moth, and was preparing to tuck the aeroplane away in its little hangar within a hangar.
