We are planning on keeping out aircraft at the airfield where our flying club is located, which is unlicensed. For £25 a month I can't complain!
We've possibly found the perfect aircraft for us, a Cessna 150 Aerobat with very low engine hours, and we've worked out that its going to cost us around £100 per month fixed costs and about £30 per hour, which is much much better than the £120 per hour I pay at the moment! Only have to use it 2 hours every month for it to be worth it, although I plan to use it a lot lot more than that
Oh by the way, we currently need 2 other pilots to form the group, as one will probably not be able to take part, so anyone within the Oxfordshire area (Abingdon, Oxford, Chipping Norton, bandbury, Witney etc) who might be interested PM me
