I'm with you J.A.F.O. I've got a British-assembled light 2-seater which is perfectly airworthy (it's just passed it's annual) but if the EASA rules on engine life come in to effect then it won't be worth replacing it. The cost of a new engine would exceed the value of the airframe. It would be nice to think it would find a home in your "Museum of Light Aviation" along with early Cessnas, Prentices, Pups, Austers and so on. 2 lottery tickets tonight methinks.
