G-KEST,
Thanks for bringing it to the attention of the GA world. As the UK CAA is financed by its users, and has to recover all of its costs from its users, this is something that could kill off the UK GA industry overnight, and unless people get their act together now, I fear the worst.
As most EASA and JAA member states have some form of Government funding or assistance, should there not be a level playing field before we get dragged off blindly into Euroland, or is the UK (as usual...) getting a raw deal courtesy of our Politicians, many of whom know Jack about GA?
