was lovely to meet up with you at the airport yesterday, glad you really enjoyed yourself. Glad you survived the Dave Barrell experience!!!! Dale and I are really looking forward to seeing you and Big Nose Barrell for a meal out next saturday after your stearman experience!

This highlights one of the problems with the advertising and selling of ‘low cost ppl’.

If you can’t afford to train for a PPL in the UK it is very unlikely you’ll be able to afford to fly here. Flying costs virtually the same as training.

Vampire. If what you are looking for is somebody to fly one leg, whilst you fly the return, that strikes me as very sensible. However you stand more chance from advertising on the board at Biggin, since for this to work you will need to both be checked out on the same club aircraft.

Have you tried other, smaller fields in the area? It doesn’t sound like it would be too much of a problem for you to move clubs?

sorry Moggy but i cant agree with that, the school I fly at at Norwich has got a system where PPL holders can enjoy the benefits of share ownership without having to purchase a share. Basically they pay a small monthly sum and then pay cost price for their flying. So some people are flying for as little as £60 an hour. Thats why I chose to learn there in the first place.

Sorry Mr Barrell didnt mean to offend!But you are very helpful and very pertinent i hear! ! This is hardly the place to discuss beans on toast not that i have any idea what you are talking about! 😮

I have just started lessons in Norwich with Dale. I have done 8 hours so far and am getting close to first solo.
Landing fees really arent as much of a problem as people think. As even with a landing fee the price is about £25 cheaper than other local airfields. Like Dave said he is very very patient and can be thoroughly recommended!
Dont let him cook you beans on toast though!
Last bit of advice melanie is watch out for that Mr Barrell Ive met him! :dev2:
