I had 42 instructors to date. But 8 in my first 10 hours and an incredible 22 before my PPL That must be some kind of record.

To be fair I did change clubs during my PPL at least in part because I had at least 12 at my first club.
Looking back at the names it includes I noted a long line of now and former airline Captains, a former Ryanair chief pilot. a former Aer Lingus chief pilot and ex Imperial Airways, The Chief pilot of another small cargo outfit. The co-pilot later involved in the infamous BA Heathrow Penta hotel incident. A now senior aviation authority figure. 5 were female who were far and away the best intructors Qute a collection indeed.

Brought back some nostalgic memories. But my early training was diabolically poor. At the time I was not aware how bad it was. Naturally it still goes on which is a pity.
