A colleague at work is interested in getting his PPL. He's a family man based Amersham with car.
The two fields that spring to mind are Booker and White Waltham...
Booker
- BA - professional, price to match.
- Wycombe Aero Centre - don't know much about them. Flew with an instructor there ages ago and he was thorough about his ground briefing.
- Downside for booker; if you want to take wife/kids, there's Happy Landings, and, err, oh.
White Waltham
- Don't know anything about the schools there (apart from Mr Cassidy and his S-2A :D )
- Nice club house & lots of interesting aircraft & traffic for kids to see (and Dad!)
Any thoughts on schools at those fields?
Any other fields you can think of?
Quality of training / enjoyment is probably the number one thing as ever, but this guy likes his warbirds and classics, so a bit of 'scenery' on the apron will better lure him into our terrible addiction. ;)
