I'm the "Giles" mentioned in the recent Loop article. Both a co-founder and a member of Cumulus.
I'm going to try to avoid going into a sales patter or anything here as I don't want to offend anyone but if you have any questions about Cumulus, do feel free to post and I'll do my best to respond.
It's a friendly bunch of people driven by the desire to fly high quality aircraft. It isn't operated on an Asda-style "this is the cheapest you'll find" basis but that said, you'd struggle to fly a Cirrus for less! Yikes, that's sounding like a sales spiel!
Anyhow, to answer the ADF/DME question Tony, our SR20s are not ADF/DME equipped. Not that it's enormously useful to you Ton but the Archer III at Bournemouth is. It's worth saying though that as a member of the group, you can fly ANY aircraft that Cumulus takes on as long as you are checked out and proficent on the type.
