Did a Cpl with JD last year. Training was good value, and John and Alan both have alot of experience to tap into.
Departure fee from Manchester is circa £20, but we often had another student with us and would land somewhere else, then swop over. The departure fee is then split between the 2 students.
John has access to several aircraft, a smart newish Archer (not used much by MSF), an arrow and a seneca. He charges airborne +15mins, so any taxi delays don't hit you in the pocket. There was also a steady stream of characters coming in for renewals etc with him, and a good chance to make a few contacts.
