I have a lesson booked at Sandtoft as it is about 30 seconds away from work. Which is nice 
I do worry though as I have 10,000 cars parked right under the approach flightpath and if a plane fell short it would make for an interesting day
It is not far from Doncaster, just take the A18 through Hatfield and turn right down the Sandtoft Road (opposite Green Tree pub). At the mini
roundabout take the second exit. The airfield is on the right hand side about 1/2 mile down.
I think a 1 hour lesson was £100 (I didn't pay for mine!!)
don't buy vouchers their a ripoff
dont mean to advertise little further away than most of the others but here is a link to the flying school i work for about 8 miles east of lincoln
not million miles away from you. www.fly365.co.uk
also agree dont go to voucher companies like red letter days or activity superstore they charge an extra 50% for the things go direct will get any
phone numbers of other airfields if needed got all of them on file
I had a flying lesson at Humberside airport, (only about 40 miles from Doncaster). What a fantastic experience, I went up with an ex airline/aerobatic
pilot in a C150 aerobat. We did the usual I flew the plane for about 20 mins after a bit of instruction.
But the best bit was, it was a fantastic clear day and the instructer said "you do realise this plane is capable of aerobatic manouvers" to
which I replied "is it". He then asked if I would like him to do some, to which I promptly replied "is the pope german". We then
flew over the river Humber near the bridge and he first did a complete loop da loop. At the apex he looked at me and said "its better than sex
isn't it" to which I could only reply "wooooaaaa". We then did all sorts of things such as stall turns, cloud chasing and a few
other manouvers.
If your relative is lucky enough to have the weather and the instructer then this is one of the best experiences ever possible.

When I was shown aerobatics in a Cessna I just couldn't stop laughing (it was the headphones moving around my head from the g-force...you'd
have to be there) I laughed so much the pilot thought I was going to be sick. Simply fab
I have to say it took a while to wipe the grin of my face, it absolutley great
