Night flying... help needed...

Evening all... a bit of advice would be appreciated.

I need to get 5 full stop landings completed to get a night rating issued (I have the night hours but short the landings!)

My question is does I live in London and would like to get these done asap. Can anyone suggest a school somewhere fairly easy to get to that might be able get these done pretty quickly?? (I am really limited to flying at weekends at them moment and I know a lot of airfields close at 5ish!)

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Elstree

You can try Firecrest at Elstree. I think they do night flying every Tuesdays and Thursdays. Best check with them to confirm.

What's the hurry you will not really need it until next September? In the old days you could fly at Luton and Coventry but times change. The hours still count, refresh next season unless you have to get one for a CPL or something. Did you plan to start too late to complete or did a school convince you to start knowing the weather is usually poor in winter and needed the hours training?

You need it to start a CPL which is probably the issue
