Thanks for the input. My main priority is to get my PPL and I currently have 5 exams out of the 9 completed and will be looking to build up my solo hours and start on the navigation work I need to do. I will try and do as much as I can within the next 2 months but I know I won't be able to cram it all in before Panshanger closes.
I was aware of Stapleford and Elstree, with Elstree being closer to me. Does anyone have any knowledge of Henlow? Fowlmere and Bourne will be worth researching. At least I have plenty of time to research what is out there.
