Dr Jekyll,
I wholeheartedly agree with Aussie Andy (having read the WHOLE of his fisrt sentence
). I've been a member of Wycombe Air Centre for nearly twelve years, and am, unsurprisingly, very happy with them. The fleet includes three fairly new 172s (2 172S 1 172R) as well as some not so new A/C.
Why don't you give them a call and arrange to come over and look the place over (you could visit the BA club at the same time).
I'd offer to show you around, but I'll be away for the next couple of weekends
