FlyTeam Cranfield
 
Anybody ever come across these guys ? They're advertising PPL for £4k inc and I can get free accomodation nearby (family). Of course I'll visit before parting with any cash but wondered if anybody had used them ?

They are good. You also can try Bonus Aviation and Cranfield Areo Club/Coulson Flying Club. All are top class.
Forgot to mention. Always check which charges are included and which are not.
Ask when the clock starts to run and when it stops, ask if pre/post flight briefings are included as well as ground school. You might find that each school is slightly different.

Cheers AC-DC, thanks for the advice. Cranfield is geographically handy for me and although Fly Team offer a good price, they don't state what is/isn't included. I will quiz them.

thanks once again

Cabair? No!
1. Expancive, I was told about £7k. for PPL.
2. The instructors are time builders.

Flyteam is a small club just as Cranfield/Coulson Flying Club. I don't know about Bonus.
Flyteam has a very good instructor by the name of Jaison (I think that he spells it this way). Cranfield/Coulson Flying Club is run by David Coulson who has some 15k hours to his credit. Things that he forgot will take other long time to learn.

The plus of Cabair you fly a shiny a.c
Edit: The 7k came from someone who is flying there.
