P.S. I took several air experience flights with the ATC totalling just under 1 hour of flying time. My instructor said that this hour could be logged in my PPL logbook. Is this true? It would be very slightly beneficial from an hour building experience side...
Depends if the air experience flights were with qualified flying instructors or not. All but one of my own AEF's were with ex RAF pilots who were never instructors and in the VRT for some fun flying. Only had an instructor once and I logged that.

Unless you can find out if the chaps were indeed instructors, I wouldnt bother. Might be worth sending an email to your CO to see if he can find out for you. It's hardly worth having dodgy entries in your logbook though for the sake of one extra hours dual.

Could always log as supernumary though. I used to do this as a passenger on flights with my dad before I could afford to start flying myself. Made me feel a little better
