Times change yes, and Robinson just hasn't been the same since Frank died.
I did the course in the UK a few years back. I can’t remember what it cost, but the 2 day event was mesmerisingly special with Tim Tucker doing the instructor flying. At today’s prices a course of that quality is still fantastic value and I look forward to the next one.

Sadly, everything costs rather more than it used to.
