Go To America!!!
Hey,
I was in the same two minds when doing my PPL, however I now know that i should have never choosen to do my PPL in the UK.
I wasted so much money with cancellations, tech problems with the aircraft, unreliable weather, not enough aircraft, not enough instructors, the list goes on and on.
I think its lovely to fly in the UK as it is home but in terms of the pound sign £££ which is the thing we all are concern about i have wasted an extra £2750 then if I had done it in the USA.
However GS-Alpha does have valid points and providing business to our local flying schools is really important as so many of them are closing down.
Hope it helps
