Thanks, all for the responses. With the links provided, I'll check into my
options.

Not concerned with solo flight or the checkout (since I'll probably only get
one flight in anyway), but thought that with an instructor I could get a
taste of the British airspace while doing some sightseeing and proficiency
work.

I have the opportunity to spend some time in England in the next few
weeks,
and will be there for a weekend.

Anyone know of any flight schools in the vicinity of Preston, Huntingdon,
Lincoln, or Salisbury?

Thought I'd occupy my time in a constructive way and see a bit more of the
UK from on high.

Also, is UK dual time loggable (already have PP ASEL, so I'm not building
towards anything)? Just thought it would be neat to have a UK entry...
;-)
I know I can log anything I want, but just wondering if, in the future, it
could be counted towards anything.

Thanks;
Carl


As somebody already mentioned there's frequently a club membership in
UK so make sure you check the cost!

In places like like US, Canad, New Zealand & Finland you just fly as
you are suggesting (I've done it many times in all these places).
Spain is the only country, I've tried, who wanted club membership
(about £70 for a year and no reduction for temporary!).

Expect much higher costs too, probably double what you are used to.

Hope you enjoy it.
