I'm hiring C152s for £100,
That's what happens when you live in the wrong part of the country. The Aero Club of which I am a member has a syndicate system so I pay a small amount each month then £65.80 / hr (wet) after that for a C152. It's a bit more for their Archer but I don't fly that. Their post PPL training rates are also excellent and designed to encourage people to do more so, hopefully, encouraging greater safety. It's also a great place.
