Tailwheel PPL in the Midlands
 

After finally saving up enough cash to start my PPL (and pay the rent ;))i'm looking to do my training in a taildragger.

Does anyone know of any clubs in the Midlands, preferably near Derby that offer PPL training on taildraggers? and what the average cost of learning on a taildragger is compared to an average 152/172?

Derby Aero Club have a Cessna 140 that they use for Tailwheel Difference Training. They may consider teaching for the PPL on it, but you'd have to ask. They used to do solo hire on the 140 but have stopped this now. Paul Jones is the CFI there and will confirm what they can do for you.
