You may find a little aerobatic biplane (on a permit) just the thing.
Strangely enough I've been offered a possibility of a share in one of those. Am seriously considering this option and then rent when I need a larger craft for long distance or cross channel.

Couple of years I definitley see myself flying. What I don't want is the pleasure to be diluted by lack of availablilty and high costs per hour

Exactly my point! Quite happy to rent on occasion if I can find something to use for general use and for FUN that won't break the bank

Have I been misinformed then? I thought the restrictions of a PFA type were that one couldn't fly outside the UK or at night or in controlled airspace?
Any confirmation or denial of this would be most welcome.

Some good points. Already member of PFA but have yet to look more closely there. Have done all the magazines but very little local to me and that is very important.
Have had a couple of offers, one PFA type and one CofA but need to explore all the options obviously before taking the plunge. I have been very encouraged by the attitude and helpfulness of those I have spoken to .. very welcoming.
If any one knows of any shares in the Sussex area, Shoreham or local strip in particular then please let me know. I will be over the 100 hour barrier too soon and looking forward to tailwheel conversion (not that I wouldn't look at a nosewheel of course)
Thanks guys for all your helpful comments as usual
