Paul, when you wrote, near the beginning of the thread:
"any gen on percentage sharing or advertising criteria - in writing - as mentioned by BEagle gratefully received",
I took that as an enquiry about advertising, but I'm glad to hear that it was something else. Flying with friends rarely needs the services of the Saatchi brothers. As you say, nothing cheesy about friends going flying and chipping in, but in my view it's somewhat cheesy to ask for or to expect payment (I am not suggesting that you do either). Renting out a public C of A aircraft is completely different.
Incidentally, are many people unfamiliar with the sharing of costs amongst four people rule? I vaguely recall that it was covered in the Thom Air Law Book and the Confuser, and sometimes featured as an exam question.
