Driftwood, did i forget to mention that i alreday have my PPL, and paid for that myself, i passes my skills test on 46 hrs and all the exam marks were 90%+, also if i want to do an integrated course, as it seems the best way to progress through your training, not dismissing the fact that modular is good too, i just prefer the idea of integrated, then i need to have that money available. and lastly assuming my parents die at the ripe old age of 80, that means i will be 54, so what use is inheriting £45k + interest going to be to me for a flying career when im that old. i think the phrase is sour grapes old boy!!!
