Hello Guys, just returned from the States only to switch on the computer and find this thread!
It is probably the first time I have actually read through every posting (took me half an hour!)
For my own two penneth, I chose to go to Florida for extra training not because of price but because I could get the task done in the time available without worrying about weather!
A problem that will always exist in the UK is the foibles of our beloved weather.
As for the quality of training this depends purely on the quality of instruction and instructors (something which is independant of country).
For my part I will continue to base my aviation purchasing decisions on requirement/quality/availability/convenience. This may or may not include flying in the UK.
This post is not meant to attack or defend flight training in any particular country. I am just suggesting that to have a choice might not be a bad thing at all.
Happy landings
JWF
