Thanks. Funnily enough I'd looked at doing the full intesive PPL with Fly In Spain, but figured there was no point learning to fly in beautiful, perfect conditions when I won't be flying in those conditions post-PPL very often!
Small point of order, but it is not always clear blue in Spain, or elsewhere for that matter. Also, Similar to passing your test in a car, the completion of a PPL is only the first stage. All of your experience builds and develops after gaining the cert.

Prestwick Flight Centre is a good club. Nice and friendly, good instructors, and gives you the experience of operating from a large International airport. sharpens RT, gives you full exposure of operating within Control Zones, and overall heightens awareness of other traffic, although you will get this last part at busier, private airfields also. It is a big commit, so visit them all, take even a trial lesson at a couple of your favourites, and decide, from there.

Best of luck.
