Hi sound man I may be just what your needing my friend..
I am doing my microlight training at strathaven and plan on doing a conversion to full ppl in the coming months, I will be buying something on a permit which i will be keeping at strathaven and maybe we can help each other.
As you have a PPL you will be able to fly and perhaps with me beside you
getting me some experience whilst helping you out to.
I am looking at a few a/c and I've put an offer in for one and if i get it it will be at strathaven very soon, I may be able to offer you a share perhaps if you are interested, either non equity or whatever you fancy.
I am also looking at a tail dragger/vintage type which may not suit you, its a vagabond and it may well end up being what i go for, its vintage simple and a hand prop a/c.
Pm me for my number if your interested
Kenny
