I did a renewal a couple of years ago at AFC Earles Colne flying their Robin 200.

It's a good professional set up and the aircraft are good. Outside controlled airspace and I think it's either their airfield or they lease it. There's no lengthy taxiing to worry about and the instructors are all very friendly (though I only flew with one).

The Robin HR200 is a nice aeroplane IMHO, with a stick rather than a yoke. I prefer that but it doesn't really matter.

Where are you actually from?

PS - I forgot to add that I finished my PPL at Clacton in the late 80's flying their Supercubs. It was a good flying school and probably still is, but it's a long time ago so my experiences my be outdated. And being a long TIME ago I have to wonder if time is relevant? Does time exist? If time is split between day and night, and as I only fly in daylight hours, are the years since I flew there halved? .... Hmmmm?
