Ineresting I would like to do an instructor course someday soon too, I live in the Northumberland area and lots of people I have talked to recomend one at Newcastle which is close to mee but due to my work I would have to dod part time thing maybe string a couple of full days together or it could take a long time. Sherburn is not too far due you know of any feedback from there is it the aeroclub which is very well established. Main thing is reliability as my free time is very tight to get.
