Good afternoon Chaps

Any recommendations for flying PPL training in the Reading area ? Preferably a centre than can administer CAA PPL written test etc. Any input welcome

I used to live in Reading and fly from White Waltham. Superb place, really nice people, good club atmosphere (used to go by bicycle if I expected a heavy night - good parties! Get lucky, a really nice girl gives you a lift home, otherwise you cycled home and Thames Valley Constabulary left you in peace). Also, a good place to keep a plane, do flour bombing, dawn patrols etc... Oh, and they were pretty good on the teaching front as well!
