... Swaley,
This thread from a year ago -
The CTC Wings (Cadets) Thread - Part 2. drew attention to some L3 problems, apparently caused by shortage of instructors and aeroplanes, or by recruiting too many students, including about 100 RAF students for multi-engine training at Bournemouth, who seemed to be getting priority.
L3’s ‘cure’ seemed to include putting some paying students on hold for significant periods of time. Just what you need when you’ve committed all that loot.
It might be worth trying to find out if they’ve got over those issues by now.
Good luck, whatever you decide.
LFH
