Tiger,
Its pro and cons again - £2 per landing (as it was at Leeds for the LBA-based flying clubs before they doubled it), adds only a few percent to the overall cost of training. I don't know how many T&G's I did before getting my licence (better not to think) but I would estimate the contribution of landing fees accounted for about 2-3% of my training costs.
However, one of the benefits of training in such an environment (Class D airfield) is IMO R/T and ATC disipline. As QNH 1013 mentioned, perhaps not everyone has had the benefit of this type of training. On balance, I think it is worth the slight extra cost. Of course it would be great to have the American system of no landing fees and still have the benefits of ATC, but then welcome to the real world.
