I've been flying with Bedfordshire School of Flying - essentially the 'Private' arm of Cabair at Cranfield.
Apparently they've laid off quite a few commercial instructors, have sent back to the leasing company a lot of DA40s (not sure about the DA42s), and to cap it all off, they've just put their rental charges up from £120 ph to £160 ph on the DA40. Lovely!
Needless to say I (along with at least 2 that I know of) have moved to a different club/school.
