Ah, forgot Tatenhill.

On the microlight front I'd maybe suggest a note of caution. A friend of ours has been doing an NPPL on microlights and has had quite a few problems which appear to be down to the schools being run on a more amateur basis. Having said that there are some excellent microlights around and the C42 is very popular (never flown one myself mind). Costs of going the microlight route from a training point of view are theoretically a little cheaper although most people seem to have to fly more hours for their license so I guess it evens out. The other advantage of doing a PPL A (or NPPL A for that matter) is that it's easy to convert onto microlights - not sure how easy it is the other way around.
