Hi guys, thanks for all your info, I think I will probably stay in Eng for my training as I am aware that Florida might not be the best prep for the smoggy, busy airspace of England. When I took my driving test I was determined to learn in the middle of Sheffield rather than cowering along the back lanes of Yorkshire and I think I will throw myself in the deep end when learning to fly too.. .DB6; I am in Rotherham. .ExTyke; Thanks for the advice, nice to have an actual recommendation, will check out Leeds.. .. .Thanks again people.
