Yes working full time in the UK. So was hoping to take advantage of this summer as best as i can! Good idea by the guy who went to Florida! something to look into!
Would like to get the PPL completed asap! obviously not too quick that i don't take it all in

I have seen some of your replies to others regarding the best / cost effective route. getting your IR(R) is more cost effective in the long run isnt it?
