Hi thing,

To set the record straight I've never been to Sherburn, I was just going on what I'd heard on the rumour mill. I'm going to pay them a visit anyway, though I think they're a bit far from Scarborough. Could argue the same about Breighton I guess. I like the thought of the museum at Breighton also, it'll be good both for me and for giving passengers something to do whilst I check out/fuel an aircraft.

Another one I didn't consider was Bagby, similar travel times from each of my bases, but I don't know if they do any hire.

The main concern with Sherburn is their 6 week currency requirement, apparently the rule applies to flight on their club aircraft, not to hours in the logbook. I don't know how true it is, but it'll obviously cause problems for me if I hire for a while from FS and then the plane I want is unavailable, the only weekend I have available will have to be spent with an instructor at Sherburn when I might have done a 6 hour trip to France the previous weekend from FS.

sandhu22,

Sorry for hijacking your thread! I'll go quiet now!
