It is many years since I flew in a light aircraft, ranging from Austers to Tiger Moths, my first flight was a Chipmonk at Croydon airport. I now have the idea that I would like to learn to Fly.
Living in South West Orne I was wondering if there were any English Speaking flying school in the area.

Re: Flying Lessons Jonzjob 26/03/2008, 23:17 Hi Stocky, if you go intp your local Tourist Info office they should have a listing of the clubs in your area. Contact one of them, they may well be able to point you in the right direction... John.The only difference between the men & the boysis the size & the shape & the price of their toys!!

Re: Flying Lessons Bob T 27/03/2008, 10:48 I did the same course at WoG but ended up with my leg in plaster!There is an English spesking flying school near Limoges for group A flying, and microlight clubs all over the country that theach to the Uk sylabus. If you don't want to spend a fortune then a French microlight license is much cheaper and some of the fixed wing microlights have cruise speeds of well over 220kmh.Send me a PM if I can help.
