MD, I said "few", not "none". If you are at Denham and want to do some aeros, Waltham (choice of Avia Special, Alan Cassidy, and London Aerobatic Company) or Wycombe (BAFC Chipmunk)would be your best bets. If at Fairoaks, Waltham again. If at Redhill, I suppose that Headcorn is the best option. I'm fortunate enough to be in an aerobatic taildragger group, so I don't exert any consumer pressure on my flying club. My observation is that there may be untapped demand for a variety of types of recreational flying, but that this is not picked up because many of the clubs can get by meeting the presumably more widespread demand for trial lessons etc, and because relatively few of the instructors appear to be particularly interested in significantly varying the menu.
