Hi, I am full time at Stapleford, currently in the middle of the PPL, and hoping to go further.
Its a friendly school with nice people, good instructors, and decent grub. Overall I am very happy with it.
One piece of advice, if you can afford it, don't bother with the Cessna 152's, switch to the Piper Warrior (PA28). It's much more comfortable, and you feel like you are flying a 'proper' aircraft.
E-mail me if you want any more info.
