Gatwick/Pilot Shop
Hello All
I will be in Gatwick in January to get my Class 1, what I would like to know is the location of the nearest good pilot shop eg Transair. I wont have a car, and I will have no idea where I am as im from Scotland and havent spent much time "down south".
Any info appreciated !

To my knowledge I don't think there are any in Gatwick itself.
Transair have pilot shops in London, Fairoaks and Shoreham but all are a good drive away. London is accessable by train in half an hour or so.
Sorry not much help.
Just take the sights in when your there! What could be better than watching 747 come into land all day! Sounds like a holiday.

Hi Howski,
The Gatwick Express train from Gatwick ends up in London Victoria Station. It takes around 30 minutes to get to London.
Transair happen to have an excellent well stocked pilot shop located about 5 minutes from the train station.
From memory as you leave the platform that the train arrives on, turn left and head for the escalator and stairs that take you to the food / shopping area of Victoria Station (upstairs). Go up to the first floor of this area and walk all the way to the other end. You will end up walking out of the station onto a busy road. Turn left and walk over the road. Then a right and a left again. About 2 to 3 minutes walk down that road you'll see Transair pilot shop on one of the corners (can't remember which corner though!).
Buy your stuff in the pilot shop and the walk back to the station will seem like an endless journey weighed down with tons of equipment!!!
Best wishes,
Charlie Zulu.
