Thanks for all the replies!
In the ideal world I'd own a C421 or Twin Star or something, but in the UK for private flying this would just be a waste of money, and I couldn't afford it anyway (someone I know is just forking out £90,000 for new engines / upgrades on a twin....I nor my bank manager
can't imagine paying out that sort of cash to fly around the UK / Europe)...
I don't want a microlight as such, but something I can use to a)keep the mrs happy and b) keep my licence valid, is reasonably fast, reasonably comfortable and is cheap to run....
Like I said earlier I was looking at the OMF Symphony, I flew one a few weeks ago, and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, and decided I wanted one. Trouble with that is I'd have to fork out £100,000 to buy it, then all the costs associated with a CofA aircraft (though mine would be N reg )...
Now if someone wanted to go halves with me then I may re-consider.....
Cheers
