Bulldog

ZoomZoom,
Old Sarum Flying Club operate two Bulldogs. From what I can understand, the big problem with the Bulldog is spares, which are both difficult and expensive to source. Hence, hire charges on the Bulldog are very high.
The person to talk to at Old Sarum is Mr. Simon Burt, their ops manager. I'm sure he will be able to fill you in on the joys and tribulations of operating a Bulldog.
Personally, as a group aeroplane I would have thought a Slingsby T67M would be a better option. You'd get much the same kind of performance and spares should be much less of a problem.
