Professional; honest; well maintained, if old Cessnas (youngest 10); high turnover of instructors (hours builders in the main); been around for a long time, so unlikely to go bust.

I was involved in buying a C172 from them and they were excellent. It was 1978 though and Dennis drove a Citoen XM

They got me through so they must be good! Seriously, I enjoyed every minute of training with them.

My girlfriend had a few lessons with them, and I hired a 172S from them for a day. They were a good organisation, I would recommend them.

They were very friendly and a great help to me earlier this year. The two FIs with whom I had dealings were most professional.
