A big thank you to york flying school

Although im Brighton based i decided to get away from it all and save money by going to Breighton airfield. I had not done the required 12 hours to keep my uk ppl current.I needed training and a test.
Mickey Kay runs York flying school.I was attracted by the free landing fees with free touch and goes at Breighton and also the three nearest airfields.
A c150 is currently £120 per hour all in including the instructor! In fact last Sunday at 9am we had the airfield to ourselves for an hour and a half practising touch and goes.
During my training i probably did 30 touch and goes and a dozen or more landings.Everyone was friendly including the examiner and it was a nice area to fly in and visit local airfields with no landing or touch and go fees.I did furnish my instructor Mickey with the odd "chip butty"
I recommend these guys because they are genuine aviation enthusiasts working out of an interesting airfield.
