First helicopter pilot lesson

[Mag_to_grid]

Its the OH's birthday next month and this is something that I know she has wanted to do for a while, can anyone reccomend a good flying school that does this at reasonable prices? We are in the NW however we would travel. Cheers.

I think there's a school at Blackpool.

The school at Blackpool has two ex Corps members and legends instructing there.

Much cheaper for a fixed wing lesson, especially if he is likely to want to go on and do a PPL
