If you live in the Manchester area, why move to complete the PPL?

So long as the flying club close too you is reputable, you'll gain a lot more from the club, than you would from the likes of FTA;
- You'll be flying around an area you'll be relatively familiar with.
- You'll make lots of contacts, with flying club members, instructors etc… that could be very valuable post training
- You'll avoid the extortionate landing fees that shoreham charge
- You'll be in a relaxed, friendly environment which will help you, especially at such an early stage of training

Once you have your PPL, Night, ATPL's and 150 hours under your belt, then you can start looking at the bigger school around to commence your CPL, IR, ME etc.
