I don't think £70p/h is alot of money considering that includes the hourly rate and my monthlies . I have not had to put my hand in pocket for anything that has needed to be done since feb this year we have done 500hr mag service, annual, a few 50hr checks, shimmy damper, brakes over hauled and we still have a very healthy engine fund !
I don't think a group should skimp on the hourly rate that extra £10 p/h soon adds up in the kitty
