Yet another post from someone who got their PPL from BAFC many moons ago. The club may have changed hands but the airfield remains a great place to train for the reasons given by mixture.
In those days they had a number of retired BA Captains on the instructor rota and those guys were absolutely priceless. Learning with them was a totally different experience to being instructed by the ATPL wannabes whose primary interest was in building enough hours to move on to the next stage of their career. I'd say that choosing your instructor is just as important as choosing your training organisation.
Can't agree with the comments about the PA-38 though. In those days BAFC used them for all primary training & IMO they are perfectly suited for that role. The Warrior is too easy to fly & could allow you to develop sloppy habits that might bite you later on. Sadly the BAFC tomahawks felt worn out 25 years ago & with the wing life limitation there can't be many good ones left now anywhere.
