Skippy Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) I have just called my local Aircrew Medical Examiner for a renewal on my CAA class 1 medical. Because i have turned 30 (now 33) i also have to have an ECG aswell at the mere cost of £170 and i haven't done a days flying since i finished my commercial license in May 07! Still, it's moderately better than the initial cost at Gatwick £385. So i was curious whats the worst youv'e been stung by you friendly local GP Edited December 11, 2009 by Skippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno 357 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 £7.20 for a prescription on Monday. I was near that god forsaken place called Dewsbury part of Wakefield. I called into a chemist on my way driving through the sespit. I was the only white person in the chemist and the only one that handed any money over the counter One guy still had his pyjammas on and got into his taxi after he got his free prescription and drove off and it was nearly lunch time Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is though,they aren't mosques at all they're just houses that have council tax exemption.Troll but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its worth it though What do you fly Skippy, fixed wing or rotary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Trained on fixed, but wait and trying to get my first flying job at the worst time ever! I would like to try rotary at some point though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 £20 a month, every month, for the last year and a half for med forms on loan insurance, £10 a month for the last 2 years for pre payment prescription card, although this has saved me £26 a month in prescription charges, but if i was diabetic i'd get my scrip free.
