This has been running for a considerable time, though was originally based at Oxford / Kidlington.
It has been discussed here previously, of course.

this sounds like what happens here in italy... We will never see training like that

2 day into course is the most accessible...a flight in the Chipmunk or Tiger Moth, a flight in the T6/Harvard and then a flight in one of 2 2-seater Mark IX Spitfires. Groundschool included, flying licence holders only.
About the cost of a used small car...

I could see myself doing it given enough money (or external funding) and an opportunity to fly Spits somewhat regularly for an operator of some sort.

The 1,000 hours PPL TT could be a bit of a barrier to entry if you aren't already well along the way.
At the historical rate I'll reach that just around the time I am 90 years old.

I've been commercial for about a year, must get my TT up anyway to qualify for a job with one of the operators I'm currently aiming for.

Well it will give you something to look forward to during the remainder of your dotage. ;)

I don't know if this has already been mentioned. I was at Goodwood to-day and heard that the CAA have given approval for training to start on a two seat Mk 9.
There are broadly two courses. One, a 25 hour course utilising a Tiger Moth, a Chipmunk then Harvard and Spitfire costs around £40,000.
The other course is a 15 hour affair costing around £25,000.
A website at Goodwood features details. I'm already doing overtime.
