Bushy it was my experience during the 120% tax write off days for small town guys like newsagents and insurance agents just buy an new aeroplane and use a private pilot mate to operate them
Many a times I was asked for a charter quote only to have the reply "**** the newsagent does better than that!".
The DCA in those days were informed ad nauseum and of course were never seen
Whats new 30 odd years on?
