You VLA/ML boys are so full of it sometimes. I have 300hrs on ML and I know full well what they cost to run! £10 in fuel is a fantasy world even on some of the old Rotax and robin engines.

THIRTY GRAND is not cheap flying to buy an aircraft. FIRTY THREE GRAND for a ML is definastly not cheap flying!!!

I have no doubt my IFR ship is more expensive to run, I don't try and convince others it is cheap. But £1200 for annual £180 for a 50hr and £1400 for insurance and 32lph don't make it much more expensive and for that I get night and IFR.

Take to a VLA pilot and everything is so cheap you get a credit for flying and talk to a home builder and everything is 20kts faster than the book on 1/3rd the fuel.

FIFTY THREE grand gets you a lot of REAL aircraft.......
