My personal experience was training at BAFC, Booker. I thought the instructors to be v. good and highly professional. Dick Thurbin taught me and a high proportion of the people that I meet flying today.
The a/c are scrupulously maintained but, other than the Dakota, won't have GPS - principally because this is Verbotten within the PPL syllabus.
With three active circuits (fixed wind, gliders and helicopters - all in different directions) and a full tower, if you can fly and do the r/t here, you'll fit in anywhere.
Enjoy!
