At Baginton, you also have

Atlantic Flight Training www.flyaft.com
AWA Flying Group www.flyawa.co.uk
Coventry Flying School - www.covaero.com
Midland Air Training - www.mats.uki.net

AFT are mainly into the pro side and have pries to reflect but still they are good. AWA are not for profit and voluntarily run. Very cheap but you do get what you pay for (*I'm a member and you can learn for about £90/hr). CFS seem a nicely run private club but don't have the cheapest prices in the world. MATS have three very old Cherokees but they are well-maintained and aslways flying so the club must be doing something right. Almat though having no direct experience is where you may find the right balance.

If you are rich and old enough to do a MBA, then you should have a car. Have you also considered popping over to Wellesbourne where heavy traffic (those pesky 737s) does not interrupt your training?

I would recommend Wellesbourne Aviation www.wellaviate.co.uk
