Dudes, I don't want this to be a slanging match

Do what you will, how you want. I still maintain that using a small piston a/c VFR is limiting and time consuming. To be of any real use you need an IR and preferably a turbine twin

It's a bit like motorbikes, they may be quicker than a car but by the time you finish bu*gering about putting all the body armour on at one end and taking it off at the other, a short journey is still quicker by car.

Now in the case of UK road transport the majority of people can get from door to door over a 200 mile journey in 3 hours (3.5 max).

So I maintain what I said before........flying somewhere in the UK less than 200 miles away is just an excuse to have fun

Right, I'm off my soapbox so leave me be
