I was interested to see from the latest "Pilot" that the flying club/school at Sherburn in Elmet (which looks well worth a visit) operates a Cap 10 and an aerobatic Robin because the CFI is an aeros fan. The culture of a club is bound to be dictated by the interests of its owners/senior staff. It seems a shame to me that so few of the clubs around London emphasise much other than what you might term bog-standard PPL-ing. I suppose that they can do OK on a steady stream of trial lessons, PPL courses, and club-hire of the training aircraft, and so feel no need to branch out in the absence of someone in the management having a particular interest in some other type of flying.
