Making the arrangements could not have been easier; the people were enthusiastic and welcoming and helped me at every stage of the booking process. The flight itself with the instructor was on a fine and slightly blustery late summer day - we had clear views of the Northamptonshire countryside - WOW! I was able to take the controls for a time safe in the knowledge that the instructor was sitting right in front of me ready to correct any mistake I might make. An absolutely brilliant day - Thank you to all
