FNW,
You win, but you are moving the goalposts a bit, originally we were talking about landing fees at WRCGB, which is based around the South Wales Valleys, now you are bringing in flights from London- But surely that is that is the same as the everyday operation of the aircraft ? So I guess they need a full time IR pilot (which by the way I totally agree with)!

And I most certainly wouldnt want to use a brand new Grand (bet they wish they had the explorer back just for this weekend)on the WRCGB in the first place, wheeled aircraft are not the best for the job, a few years ago Jeremy did talk about not allowing them , as the sites didnt lend themselves at all well, but I guess it is operator beware. and before anybody starts talking about wheels versus skids , I fly a 109 !

My only experience of WRCGB is doing the event 7 times, and operating in and out of various forests fairly regularly, for tests and rallies etc.
