There's no hiding on these message boards! I did learn at Earl's Colne and consider joining the group there - I had a look at the TB10 and had a chat etc, I was meant to receive an email regarding joining etc but that never materialised... I have since joined a group at Duxford which is a little closer to home for me which has a hr200, pa28, c177 and a tb10.
So I would need to find an instructor happy to do the check ride from Dx.
