"There are some 10000 private aircraft in the UK and about 1000 commercial. Mode S requirements will force all these owners (I am one) to spend some £4000? on a new piece of electro-kit. Now would someone please explain the benefits to me?"

Just think of it as a New Labour idea to be able to TAX the use of the AIR!
