Wycombe Air Centre have 2 BE76 Duchesses used for IR and multi training. CPL is usually done on a Cessna 182 RG but could probably also be done on the Duchess if you wanted to. See www.wycombeaircentre.co.uk for details...

Three actually, Dufwer: BCFT (my employer), PAT and ETA, all schools flying out of Bournemouth. There is a lot of flight training here!

Send Clowns, as I'm a student at your employer (but the other side of airfield at the moment) I know that BCFT's got them, plus others at bournemouth. As all ones I've seen are in the same paint scheme so I didn't realise there was more than one other school using them. Sounds like somebody needs to splash some paint around.

Yes, it confused me when I was training here and similar aircraft were using completely different callsigns. We've just painted BCFT wings on ours (including the new sim) but they aren't large enough to be completely distinctive, and all on the airfield are white with red stripes!
