I think I paid about $1500 for worldwide VFR + Europe IFR last year
I think you got "Jeppesen Europe" which is Europe west of the Iron Curtain, and not the northern bits

I think that is about £1500, VFR and IFR.

To get what is traditionally called Europe, i.e. Portugal to Slovakia, Greece to Finland, you have to pay helluva more. You have to buy the supplements e.g. Eastern Europe...

But the Government could not bring itself to part with all its cartographical jewels. To the dismay of ramblers and other countryside groups, the free data released last week does not include digital versions of the 1:25,000 Explorer and 1:50,000 Landranger series, the most popular paper maps.
Presumably because Memory Map would sue them for a breach of contract / business damage. These are the ones which MM resell.

The govt should have never allowed itself to fall into this trap, where somebody has got them over a barrel. For this reason, I hope they are not selling any AIP data to Jeppesen.
