Thanks JEFTS
I'd like to thank Gary and Tim at JEFTS Barkston Heath for the gleaming Mercades sat in my driveway. Yep, I don't think I would be where I am today if it had'nt been for their expert guidance.
When the CPL examiner reluctantly signed me off he said the best thing you could do son is go and be an instructor. My flying was poor and I had NO confidence and I could have quit right there and then.
Someone gave me the number for JEFTS( divine intervention perhaps??)
I was a part time soldier many many years age so I had some idea of how the mil worked and they did exactly as I expected. They took my flying apart and rebuilt it in their image. It was the most amazing course and I left with my ability and confidance sky high. I finished there on the Thursday made a call on the Friday and started and an instructor on the Monday out of SOU and that was in 2002 when, like now, there were not to many jobs about, but it was the start of my career.

If I remember G-HONG and G-KONG were M200s but the M260s were absolutely brilliant for spin training and aeros and dog fighting and formation flying all of which I did on my standard FIs course. Exceptional.
I would love to go back now as a part time instructor perhaps at a UAS. Anyone any information?
