When I was stationed at Shawbury, I flew from Slepe (Sleap?) once, that seemed a nice club, and their vintage C150 was the best balanced/Trimmed/clean Cesspit that I have ever flown.

One of the guys in the Course ahead of me was about to do his confined Areas test, but whilst on Rotary wing training you are not allowed to fly fixed wing (even Loadies). So whilst I was in my first week of Wessex Tech ground school, we rented the C150 in my name, he ‘borrowed’ the confined areas list and we flew around and did an ariel recce of each one so he was prepped for his test!
