I suggest you go to your local airfield and get friendly with the locals there, or even post up on one of the 'spare RH seats available' threads hanging around on the forums. You will find that there are lots of people genuinely kind enough and just want to share their passion with you (someone who can appreciate it). So you can gain cheap flying with them in their aircraft/share. Why would this save you money?
Well if you do a PPL from scratch, then you are more than likely needing to take more hours than the 45 minimum therefore gaining extra experience that won't cost you £2 per minute with an instructor will be great for getting your minimum time down.
If you can't find anyone to fly with; you're not trying hard enough (obviously airfields differ, but where I am located there are friendly faces all around). Especially one person who gives up their time to help me with ground studies as well. He is a top bloke
