Just to throw another into the mix, I'm training with John at Bickerstaff Aviation based at Beeston Manor near Blackburn. He has an R22 and is very thorough and an all round good guy!
I'm not sure exactly where you are, but when I was looking I thought of Blackpool and Manchester as they are the most likely places, if you are doing the same but actually live closer to Blackburn then John would be a cracking bet!
Just lobbing in my bit, enjoy the flying.
