Thanks all for your replies.

You must also have a plan for financing your post licence flying. Research the cost of a half day hire to Sywell in a Eurostar vs a IFR equipped PA-28/c172 type !!!

I think it's this which is going to sway me down the Eurostar NPPL route more than anything.

Another question for you all. I know that with an NPPL it's VFR only but is there any limit on which airports you can land at with an NPPL? Can I for example fly down to and land at Bournemouth or other such larger airports or will I get refused as I will have NPPL only?
Obviously i'm not going to try anything stupidly ambitious like Heathrow but to be able to fly into a larger airport like Bournemouth would be a bonus.

Also can you fly over water i.e. to the Isle of Wight, or is it over land only?

Thanks all, your replies are appreciated.
