Tail wheel conversion Yorkshire area

Hi,

Does anyone know of anywhere in Yorkshire I could do the tail wheel conversion?. A search on the Internet reveals a few, but they all seem to be in the southern end of the country.

Maybe ask at Yorkshire Gliding Club (Sutton Bank, Thirsk). It's a very long time since I flew there but their current internet intro video shows tail wheel tugs being used.

You may get a lead from one of the tuggies.

Doesn't mean they don't have access to one.
