thanks for that, i was beginning to think it all bad news. I rang oxford and they seemed less that helpful really. First impressions count and it wasnt a good one. Bristol were very nice on the phone but really I'm looking for a full time course which I'm finding harder to track down. Oh and at AFT a ppl instructor (Neil Highland) was very helpful and genuine and I had a go in thier new Diamond flight sim too! excellent.
cheers again
