Does anyone have any information on UK Flight training based in Long Beach California?

Are they training anyone at the moment? And are they in Long Beach or elsewhere in the USA?

If you train with them, is it UKFT or Rainbow air who do the actual training?

Appreciate some info or PM's because I enrolled about 3 months ago and was kept waiting while they got approval from the FAA. I have since been told to repay my 500 pounds deposit to the USA and to forget about the 500 pounds I already sent to their office in the UK. And have been told that I will now be doing my training in pennsylvania!?!

I did my PPL with UKFT. Rainbow Air and UKFT share the same planes but UKFT has the approval to conduct flight tests and ground exams for the JAA Licence. I have also heard that they have opened another branch.

UKFT no longer hold approval to conduct any JAA training courses, including the PPL.

I checked with the CAA and went there and got my PPL there.
I guess the best thing to do contact them.
