I would very much recommended Kevin Rowell of Advanced Flight Training who is based at Sherburn. He seems to specialize in atypical training requirements.

Advanced Flight Training

I had a 15 year break from instructing due health problems and contacted him about getting my rating renewed.

He was dead helpful, offered loads of advice, tailored a "renewal" FI course to suit my needs. I haven't got my logbook with me but I think in ran to about 12 hours in total plus the test. As for the ground school well there was as much of that as I wanted as I could just turn up and sit in on his briefs with his regular students. He didn't charge me for the ground school element and I was surprised by how much things have changed.

He also has quite a large sphere of infuence with the flying schools in the surrounding area and managed to get my foot in the door at a flying school near to me.

I would certainly give him a call or pop in to see him. He will happily give advice for free even if it's not in his best financial interests. Which I always think is a good sign.
