Thank you all for your helpful comments, I guess if you want to train at an international airport its going to be top wack for the lessons! Anyone any experience of Old Sarum, Goodwood, Sandown or Bournemouth as these are all relatively local to me.

Carlito,

my airport has just started a service to Ireland, it would not cost much more to catch a flight and have a lesson over there!

Evo7,

on a good day I manage 7 circuits, on a bad day it could be as low as 4.

Biker Pilot,

my latest instructor is recently qualified, very young, a little lacking in confidence but OK, hence his final reluctance to let me solo the other day. (see posting "almost first solo") I visited your website- maybe qualifying in the States would save a LOT of money.

Flyingfor fun,

I guess you are right and I will probably stay where I am.


Thank you for all the other replies, it is a lot quieter and cheaper in Yorkshire, Denham, Highcross and even Biggin! which is where I first caught the flying bug.
