Thumbs down

Another aspect worth considering when visiting such remote places such as Lundy is Insurance.

Depending on what cover you have for the Aircraft,say 3rd party only,then if you do have a prang whilst on Lundy for example then you will be responsible for the removal of the Aircraft.

I would'nt like to guess at what the recovery costs would amount to from such a place,but it certainly makes that little extra premium for better cover seem well worthwhile,and believe it or not,to my horror I recently found out that a friend of mine who has an Aircraft worth approx £35k only has 3rd party cover!!!!!!!!!!
The way in which I found this out was when he was discusing the repair costs after he'd just done a wheels up bellyflop......
