Tony Harrison 2 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Anyone suggest a provider of paid tuition in or very near to S.Devon? How much might I expect to pay? Thanks, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Look up your local club on the BMFA site Tony And tuition should be free of charge if you join the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried it already with another club, didn't work out. I spend most of the sunnier months in France, where a friend has generously done some training with me at his club site, but I won't be there until March and I'd really like to get flying after 2-3 years of renewed interest and building 2-3 planes myself! If tuition is both good and affordable it seems like my best bet. rgds Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Christy Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Tony, Whereabouts in south Devon are you? I'm in Paignton. I'm not aware of anyone down this way who does paid tuition, but there's lots of clubs in the area and lots of experienced flyers who I'm sure would be willing to help out. -- Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison 2 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Gentlemen, thanks for your advice. Denis, your linked discussion on paid tuition was useful, but the chap concerned is near Swindon, rather further than I want to travel for flying lessons even though I'm often up that way for other reasons. Rick and Peter, PMs sent. rgds Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymaz Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Martin Bedding used to do private lessons in and around Cornwall....but he now lives in the US. So my reply is a little pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
