Can anyone recommend a good IMC training organisation in the Northern half of England? That is, one that offers good quality training without costing the earth.

Try Newcastle Aero Club, £95 Hr (inc. VAT) on PA28's. Tel - 0191 2861321
I did my PPL, IMC and Night there.
Ask for Ian Chambers he's a good egg and does a lot of the IMC training.

Thanks TooHotToFly, can you recommend all 3?
Any more comedians got any wise cracks about life under the leaden skies of the Northern wastelands?

As you asked ....
Did you know that copper wire was invented by a Scot and a Tyke fighting over a penny coin?
(PS: I am a bit of both, so allowed to say this!)

I say! It's bad enough having to work with Germans here in Cologne but is it really necessary to have to consort with Northern Types whilst goofing off? I mean, it's not as if you chaps can afford the costs of flying lessons anyway so why not just spend the paucity you do have on whippets and brown ale. And cheesy peas. Mind you, we had a chap from Buckinghamshire at Uni and he was OK. Very handy for Rugby League tips.
