I am currently in the process of completing my PPL course with them and I must say that right from the trial lesson up until XC-3 (my last flight) they have been absolutley wonderful. The aircraft are in great shape (+ have the BA paint
) and the instructors are extremely knowledgable. They have a quite good BAFC magazine that's published once in while as well.
My only problem is with Jon Hartill the CFI ..... but that's another story
..... and nothing to stop you going to BAFC for your training.
