Old Man Rotors advice seems to have hit the nail on the head
<<I have found that you can [and you must] choose the school and Instructor that suits you......and not just be allocated an Instructor from the pool.........from my experience, choose the older guy/lady, who may be on the "other end" of his/her career, as they have more to offer than a younger hour builder [not to say there arn't exceptions to this....just generalising].
There are heaps of good quality Instructors in the Industry...........your challenge is to find the one that suits you>>
Can anyone (by private message) offer specific recommendations as to an instructor based either US or UK who fits Old Man Rotor's description above.
