This is GA, mate. We have to put up with shoddy allsorts.
If your car was the age of most of the GA fleet you wouldn't have to pay tax on it.
There's nowhere else on earth that you'll find people willing to take huge sums of money from you and then act as though they're doing you a favour.
Conditions at many airfields and clubs must fall outside any EU legislation and customer service is non-existent at many.
The government tax us to the hilt and then try to close all our airfields.
It's great fun, though, and I wouldn't be without it - welcome aboard.
