Derek,
How many hours do you have in PW5?

Fortunately, none!

It looks to me that Derek is afraid that he might fly
across the
English Channel in the PW-5 and find himself in France.....

What a horrible thought! Although one would be more
likely to make a very small splash halfway across the
Channel in a PW5.

By the way us British glider pilots are not made welcome
in France, because allegedly two of our gliders were
unfortunate enough to get in the way of a free falling
parachutist and a French two-seater that spun in a
thermal respectively. Since then they will not recognise
our UK qualifications, despite this being a principle
requirement of the EU. I don't think they have ever
forgiven us and the Yanks for liberating their country
from German occupation!

Still never mind. I fly and spend my money in all the
other EU countries who do make us welcome and accept
our qualifications.
