Hey guys and gals just found out there is a new flight training centre opening up in Newquay they are calling them selfs FLYNQY ex Plymouth Flying School. I recon this would be a really good place to learn to fly if you like the whole outdoor life style ,think you could be surfing in the morning down at MawgenPorth then have flying lessons, I hear they will be opening up at the start of November.:):)

From what they've said the welcome that NQY have given them has been second to none, much better than they were ever treated at Plymouth. I would continue to use them however it is just too far to travel. At least they have tried to make the best of a bad situation, it seems it may actually be a change for the better.

196 quid dual for a C152
Is that pretty standard for down south?

No far too much.

Their website appears to suggest that CPL training in a PA28 Arrow is £353 per hour. Possibly the most expensive rate for any flight school I've ever seen, anywhere. I know more than one UK school that offers CPL training on a twin for less than that!

I spent 3 years of my early adulthood at Newquay and I would strongly advise avoiding the place.
Unless of course you want to be knee deep in Klunge....:E:E:E

£196 p/h for a 152? At that rate they'll do well not to be a new & defunct flight school. That's outrageous.
