Seek your views and advise on the requirement of "Physical presence in UK"

Case details are:

First entry to UK - 16 Feb 2005
ILR - 18 Jan 2010
Plan to apply for Naturalisation on: 18 Jan 2011 (~6 Yrs since entry)

I was away from UK (for 45 days) on business travel from 10 Jan 2006 to 25 Feb 2006.

Hence, 5 Years before my application date, I was resident in UK but travelling on business.

Am I eligible to apply for Naturalisation under such circumstances?

Any suggestions pl.

Many thanks

No, you can't apply until 25 Feb 2011, as you was not physically in the UK due to the trip.
