Bank Loans

Can anyone please give me information about any UK banks providing loans for Pilot career development?

I realise that I could spend the next few hours/days on the phone, 'choosing from the following options', etc. but I was hoping somebody might have some recent experience of this that they could share.

Or is this a total non-starter in the current economic environment?

Do you have a nice big house, without to many debts? If so I pretty sure the bank will give you what they can towards your property.

Thanks Boeingdreamer.

I just found this, which could be interesting. Does anybody have any experience of BBVA?

BBVA are a pleasure to deal with. They are a huge global bank, and are regulated by the FSA. Finance must be secured on a UK or Spanish property and they have certain requirements if you already have a first charge on the property in question.
