Niknak,
£50 per minute -

!!
But that's literally
half what I've heard for a ride in some other parts.
Plus VAT, of course, Gordon's boys won't let us have any fun without paying them their 17.5%, now, will they?!

Heliport,
The old boy's licence is still current and given his RAAF experience in the '50s, I'm open to trying the angle of it being a training flight for an ex-mil, taildragger-experienced ex-QFI pilot.
I would like to thank everyone for their input on this. I've been a bit flat out the last couple of weeks but will now get into following up these leads. I really appreciate it and if it works, I'm sure Dad will, too.
I look forward to being able to post some photos.
Cheers all
