Greed, minimal turnover and pound decline are all factors in the latest moan but a bit less is only minor good news which won't affect the basic fact that GA in UK is utter and total .... , most certainly with your own money.

AVGAS in Florida was over $5 but is already under $3 (per US gallon) which is under 40p per litre. After adding that to much cheaper hire, better weather, no landing charges anywhere AND not having to put-up with the pompous p....s at plenty of U.K. 'clubs' (so-called), no wonder many give up in U.K. and now fly for pleasure elsewhere.
