Ravenair
My name is Gary Burgess and I am astonished to read that people are unhappy with Ravenair.
Back in the eighties I was an instructor at Ravenair (Manchester) instructing in Night Ratings and IMC ratings as well as PPL.
I loved the job and we were all one big happy family and we always wanted to help any budding pilot as much as possible. Jeff Nuttall was a really nice guy and always tried to make time for everybody although it was plain that he was extremely busy.
When a student had come for a booking and the weather would not permit them to fly I took that as an opportunity to get them up to speed on their groundschool so I hope they never felt that they had wasted their time or journey.
Many students from Ravenair went on to be Commercial Airline Pilots including myself albeit briefly.
When I have met former students they have always without exception have always tell me how much fun as well as learning the whole process was.
