One of the most important things you need to have when you learn to fly is total confidence in your instructor and in those supporting you on the ground.

That’s why we’d like to introduce ourselves to you ... so you know who you’re dealing with and who’s here to make sure your whole flying experience is a thoroughly enjoyable and fulfilling one.

Gavin B. Forrest Chief Flying Instructor & General Manager Oversees the running of the flying club as well as being on-site as Chief Flying Instructor to advise on all aspects of flying and flying ratings. Julie Churchill Julie is also heavily involved in the management of the club and you will find her there on most days for at least part of the time.	Gavin Forrest in G-RAFC
Charles McGregor & Trudy Johnston Instructors Charles and Trudy work weekdays and sometimes Trudy works at weekends too. Trudy is also our RT Examiner.
As well as those who are here full-time to instruct and support you with your training, we’d also like to introduce you to our part-timers. Graeme Tough (weekends), Richard Naish (weekends) & Tony Farmer (Sunday mornings) Instructors Graeme and Richard both work as instructors at the weekends and are enthusiastic and experienced pilots. Graeme is also our mult-engine instructor. Regrettably, despite the impression given by Richard's photo, we don't do fast jet instruction!
