You're lumping the DA20 and DA40 together, but they're really totally different animals, mainly due to the completely different engines they use. Which one is it going to be?

Furthermore, what's specifically wrong with the Cessna 150/152 that you don't want to continue training on that aircraft type anymore? Maybe we can recommend another "modern" aircraft that does not have the drawbacks of the 150/152 series that apparently puts you off.

Lastly, just any flight school in the whole of the UK, or do you have a specific region in mind?
