Derby Airfield is about the only alternative to Tatenhill. I live in Stone and can get to Derby in the same time as I can get to Tatenhill.

Derby Aeroclub is a friendly place. The grass runways, being relatively short, prepare you for anywhere.

But I can also recommend Tatenhill Aviation, and learnt loads in just one revalidation flight with their CFI.

East Midlands is not that much further, and if you would be happier with a big concrete runway, full ATC, and occasional delays while the 'big stuff' comes in, it is a good option.

Why not visit all of them, and see what you can learn?

Good luck with your choice
