Dubcat,
I learnt to fly at Cubair at Redhill they were very good and as cheap as you can expect in the UK they set me in good stead and now I'm flying commercial seaplanes in Australia. The chief pilot was a bit of a ****, flew A320's and thought he was gods gift but everything else was really good. My only mistake was learning on the Katanna when there was a Piper cub sitting idol, I later found out how much more fun tail wheel was.
Redhill has a great atmosphere about it, I miss the place, you will spend some time not flying due to wet runways, but so what just enjoy it, you are in no hurry.
