Thanks for all the replies people.

bar shaker the Sans S6 is a possibility

Rod1 The Europa, especially in it's original monowheel form, has always fascinated me. Any chance of swopping a whizz around in the Auster for a whizz about in a Europa anybody?

Brooklands I would love a Dh60. So much nicer than the Tiger Moth (in my eyes at least) but oh so expensive....

ChrisVJ I have heard that the Mustang II doesn't have the short field performance of a Vans RV partly due to the "laminar flow style" wing. They do fold though!! Apparently the PFA have issues with the undercarriage. Could be a long time before one gets built in the UK then. Shame, it looks like a lovely little aeroplane.

My Googling has brought another contender in the Avid Aerobat. I could put up with the 2-stroke engine while saving for a Rotax 912 or Jabiru. The Avid's do look quite small, would a 15 stone 6 footer fit in one comfortably? I've been told that I would but I have my doubts. Any offers of a flight as per the Europa?
