Hey!
Well, I'm not sure what stage of flying you're at, but I fly from Stapleford at the moment. I have done my PPL, Night and ATPL theory exams, and am now hour building out of Stapleford. They are a nice bunch of people there and quite competitive rates. I'm not quite sure though about doing the rest of my training there or not. The sims are good, however, I'm wary about having to go to Southend for all the approaches and not being able to do the test on site, etc. All these things add up in my mind!
Anyway, not sure of I've been of any assistance! PM me if you've any further questions about Stapleford and I'll do my best to answer them!
