Thanks!

I presume you are talking about London England, not Ontario...

(I hate to be picky...but how about a more descriptive subject line?)

Last time I was in the UK, I flew with a CFI out of Norwich airport.
Was about $225/hour-ish for a PA28 + CFI. About 2 hrs NE of London,
a bit far for you, but you get the idea.

Plenty of places to go fly...
Once you get there, open the phone book and call a few flight schools.
FYI, London is basically a Massive "Class B" type area...you may have
to get a little ways out of town to find what you want.

If you have time, check out Duxford air museum aka Imperial War
Museum, near Cambridge. UK equivalent of Wright-Pat.


Best of luck...Don

.... and the Shuttleworth(?) collection.

There's a flying school (was ) based there in 1987.

Well, then quit being picky.

Just kidding. :-} I figured "London, UK" would be the "default".
Thanks for the info.

The Diamond Aircraft factory

A nice clean medium sized city with friendly people, that's safe to
walk about in at night.

Home of Labatt's beer

Planning another trip up there this summer....this time we FLY.

I'm a WWII buff, and there's an airfield/museum a short Tube ride from
London that I hanker to see. http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/

My certificate isn't good outside the U.S., so I can't help you there.
