Thanks for the tips guys.
I think with Ravenair its a case of once you get to know them they are fine. I have already experienced the age of the Ravenair tomahawks - it kind of puts things into perspective when the plane your flying is nearly twice your age!
I will defiantly have a look at Merseyflight as well.
Any other tips for a newbie are most welcome!!
Cheers,
