I'm planning to start my PPL as well and living in Nottingham Donair is the obvious choice. I'm glad to hear they sound like a decent outfit.
At 30 years old and on a crap wage I think my days of training towards an ATPL are gone but I've always had the desire to learn to fly so I think I will go for a PPL and Night Rating and see what happens after that.
Hopefully I can pop over to Donair very soon and have a trial lesson just to check the school out before I hand over my hard earned cash!
