The suitability of aircraft for IMC flying in the club scene is next to none. There is a prosecution culture for those who make a mistake and in a badly equipped aircraft you have more chance of a mistake in IMC. In the past pilots would be happy to blag with a minimum IMC fit and a portable GPS, now they are more wary of explaining themselves if it goes wrong.
The last two years worth of CAA prosecutions can be found here. I struggle to reconcile the facts against your prosecution culture assertion either generally or in relation to IMC rating/flight.
Actually, I meant to say 'perceived' culture of prosecution but I was to busy pissing. My apologies.
