Are the Halcyon Days of Private Flying Over?
I recall asking my father in the late 50s how much it cost to fly - his reply "A bob a minute" - that was £3 per hour. In those days on a nice Sunday afternoon there would be circa 12 (yes thats twelve) a/c in the circuit (incidentally ALL non radio!).
Given the astronomical rise in the fuel prices and the punitive taxes imposed the HM "Government" and the ever increasing amount of bureaucratic nonsense what do you think the future of Private Flying and General Aviation will be in the UK?
