Hi Aerofoil
Have you considered doing some of the Training in USA, like the Night-rating (600$ instead of pounds) CPL (4800$ instead of 5000 pounds) and maybe the IR (roughly 7000 pounds)
As I see it you can save several thousands of pounds (sorry dont have the pound symbol on this yankee laptop)
just a thought, fx check out
www.flyeft.com just did my CPL there, 1st time pass in minimum hrs saved alot compared to UK
Whatever you choose good luck
