Air Academy Hastings (HB&ECAC)offered a good deal when I worked there a good few years ago, at least if you were any good you stood a chance a picking up a job as they flog around the area in Senecas doing the odd bit of charter and Air Ambulance. Rates are pretty good, and at least you don't have to deal with pretentious dickheads that think that aviation only exists north of the Bombays...
