B47 its not actuallt turbine snobbery ( i used to have a 3b1 just like you !!)
I only do this to help prepare Robbo drivers for the stick they are going to get when they get there licence and turn up in an R22
As for my son , well yes , he is doing his licence on a 44 , but he would be very happy to switch to a 47 if you can do one at the same price !!
ps beggars cant be choosers ......
