Hello from Derbyshire , England

[Chopperone]

Just bought a very clean & tidy MP & reading/watching everything I can before I go for my first flight.
Used to have a private pilots licence many years ago so not completely unaware of what goes on up there but very keen to get it absolutely right from the start.
Need to make sure my first solo is a safe one.
