Het don't get me wrong I like Booker.

I did my QFI Fixed wing upgrade with Tony Geisling at Wycombe Air Centre many many years ago and three years ago gained my PPL(H) with Heliair.

I have always been impressed with the ATC, managing Gliders, Multi and single fixed wing, on grass and tarmac runways, along side angry palm trees blasting about the airfield.

I only suggested WW, as after a days flight it is good to chew the fat with fellow pilots in an historic, atmospheric clubhouse, that Booker just doesn't have.

I am pleased that Booker is a stones throw away as they also have great expertise in specialist maintenance. Personal Plane services did a great job on our Nangchang after a rather nasty airstrike. Aircraft came back imaculate.

I agree that you should shop around but that is the beauty of forums like this, to get as much feedback before you start looking.
