After a lot of searching I am thinking of doing my PPL with the above school, based at Elstree.
Can anyone tell me if I am going to "a good home"?
The one thing I do not want is aggressive, stunt loving instructors.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has some info.
Ps: Elstree is logistically very, very convenient for me.

New one on me. Try the Lion Flying Group, definitely no agresssion or stunts :ok:
Best bet is to do an hour's trial lesson, spend time at the school and speak to other students and take it from there.

Before making any commitment to a school it's always wise to shop around, look at everything that's available at a particular airfield.
If convenient you are to Elstree, I suggest you look at Falcon Flying School, Flyers Flying School: Learn to Fly in London! (http://www.flyersflyingschool.co.uk/). Very experienced instructors with a good range of aircraft.

I'm assuming you mean "Flyers" Flying School as Falcon has been based in Biggin Hill since 1977.
Flyers seams like an amiable & experienced bunch though. If you are that local visit them and speak to the instructors. In regards to "stunt loving" instructors unless you are completing an aerobatics course i wouldn't worry.

Falcon was the old name - i think it changed name recently to Flyer's.
The instructors there are very good - all good ex-cabair people and extremely experienced.
I am hours building with them at the moment having completed my PPL at cabair but use flyer's as I know the instructors well.
