Regarding shares coming up for sale - the club notice board / grapevine is where to do your detective work. By the time any share has come into print in the magazines, it's probabably been sold.
If you buy a share, make sure its not something 50 miles away at the back of a hangar. Of anywhere you may do best at Breighton. Several Jodels there, if thats what you fancy. Certainly they're best value for money. A Jodel D112 (65 horsepower) is cheapest and will put some fun into your flying. The Aeronca Champ is another 65 horse PFA type. Both these need hand-starting as they usually have no engine-driven electrics, so you'd need to be shown how to safely swing a propeller. But if you feel you need to travel at more than 90 knots, you'll be spending more brass unless you arrange to fly downwind all the time !
