I have an itching to get to grips with aircraft ownership, is anybody aware of any group shares available at Gamston, Netherthorpe or Sandtoft? 2 or 4 seater, CoA or PFA!

There are always shares available at busy airfields. Go visit and ask around..they all have notice boards with shares.
Happy hunting.

I will drop him a line, but that advert was a couple of years ago, so I had discounted it! I guess Sturgate is also an option...

I have been round these airports (although not for a few months) and I find a surprisingly small amount of adds for shares....

I know the area as I've been in a few groups at these fields. The best way is to become "known" and let it be known that you are looking for a share in an aeroplane... most shares aren't advertised. Try chatting to the instructors when they're not busy, they often have an ear to the ground... good luck, I hope you find something suitable.

PS... don't leap in too quick... joining a syndicate is like getting married!

PPS... People join and leave groups so the Pup might have a share or someone thinking of selling... no harm in asking. I think every pilot at Gamston has had a share in NS at some time (me included)!

...quite lucky in marrige though ; - )

Thanks for the input. Hopefully announcing my intentions on PPRUNE might help.

Good Sense of Humour, Non Smoker, Very few disgusting personal habbits....

PIPER CHEROKEE 140 WITH A 160 ENGINE UPGRADE WILL BE COMING TO gAMSTON WITHIN THE MONTH AS SOON AS WE GET THE FUNDS CLEARED TO COMPLETE THE ACQUISITION. i AM SURE WE CAN SORT SOMETHING OUT FOR YOU WHEN IT ARRIVES.
PM ME FOR MORE DETAILS. EXCUSE THE CAPS , HAVING TO TYPE LEFT HANDED AT THE MOMENT

If you wanted to come a little further south to Spanhoe my mate is just putting a group together around a Cherokeee 140 as well. Very cheap shares and operating costs.

It's a shame, but I think that's a bit far afield for me...

We have a guy that comes from your neck of the woods already and 3 that come up from North Weald!

My wife drives to see her Gran in Mansfield most Saturday mornings.

Spanhoe is available 24/7 with lights and no landing fees etc.

Just a thought.

Hi Bigfoot01,

There's a share going in a Cessna 150 at Netherthorpe at the moment. £1500 for the share, £40 per month and £37 an hour. Great airfield and a great atmosphere. Lots of availability. PM me if you would like more details.

Dom462 thanks for your pm, Bigfoot 01 bought the share in our Cessna 150 and is very happy with it. Another share has just come up please check your pms.

I'm also looking for Sandtoft; looking for both an Aerobatic and PA-28 share.

Sorry to hijack this thread. Looking for aerobatic share, named fields plus Sherburn, Breighton and Sturgate. Two seat Extra, Pitts and T67. Please pm if you know of any availability.

Thanks

We have a Piper PA28-160 at Sandtoft for hire, give me a pm.

I'd like to bump on the end of this thread, too. Currently flying out of Netherthorpe but looking for a share in a C172, C177B or something with enough grunt to take 3 x normal-sized chubbies a decent distant at more than 90kt! Gamston or Nethers would be ideal. Sandtoft, Sturgate and Breighton possible too.

Certified or permit considered, but if permit would like enough instrumentation for IMC training...

Thanks,

Matt.

Also dipping a toe in the water at the moment. Would consider Sandtoft, but Gamston etc. a bit far. Breighton would be ideal, along with Sherburn or Full Sutton.

Aircraft must have two seats+ anything else a bonus.

Cessna 182P available at Full Sutton. Not a share, but can be hired from the club at £140 an hour wet. Full 4 seater with baggage and fuel.

RV9A shares available near to Sandtoft, look on AFORS

I too am still looking for a share from any of the above mentioned airfields.

I put a post on another forum but haven't really had any luck. PPL'd at Nethers, now flying a PA28 from Sandtoft. Would like something with a reasonable load carrying ability to be able to do a bit of touring and am opening my mind towards LAA types.

I won't hold my breath but thought it might be worth another punt!

nadders

Assuming it's the one at Mount Airey - need to have a good long think about that one as it's not far from where I live.
