What sort of flying are you looking to do?
For PPL there's Seawing at Southend, or for CPL/IR there's Stapleford Flight Centre.
For me private flying only.
You mention Southend seawing flying club. Have you been trained there?
Have you had any experience with them?
I went there to ask some infos but it seems to me they are not really " professional" ..
I took some brochure with all explanations of prices and course and found lot of mistakes..and sometimes confusional..I saw their fleet they have 1 cessna 152 only and a couple of pa 28...
I don't know if I can trust them...
Any advices are really appreciated.

Andrewsfield is a very friendly place, a number of highly experienced instructors operating out of their own airfield so no delays waiting for lots of traffic.
I didn't train there but fly a group owned aircraft from the airfield and what I observe would allow me to suggest it as a good place to learn to my family if they wished to take lessons.

Hi Doro, BCFT at Bournemouth is a good place too. I did my cpl there :)

Doro,
Did you mean Southend Flying Club? Seawing is another club; they have several 152s, 172 and share aircraft. I did not train at Seawing but the instructor that taught me now works there and I have since flown with other instructors there, hence why I am recommending them. They are very professional and 'flying club' orientated. From your description that doesn't sound like you went to Seawing.
Alexx83 I am at BCFT now, just finishing my ATPL ground exams! When did you do your CPL?

Did my night rating at seawing at Southend. Great little school, nice people and fun flying. Flying from Southend is great as well.
