"Also look at the Microlight School at Wycombe as well, who have a good reputation and probably nicer aeroplanes."


Indeed, i've just completed my NPPL with the light sport flying club at Wycombe in an Evektor EV97 Eurostar

Steve Pike (CFI/Examiner) runs a great school/club. The aircraft are superbly maintained (there are 4 EV97's in total within the LSFC, with great value shares available).
Super friendly, very safe & sensible, and all other details mentioned above re WAP.

Another consideration is the huge cost difference between flying the larger stuff (PA28's etc) and a modern microlight, so if you're just looking at pleasure VFR flying, the NPPL is worth a thought.

One of the LSFC EV97's..if two seats will suffice, they're great fun.
