In reply to KarlwithaK, Avgas fuel is available at Doncaster from a small bowser but retails at £1.68 per ltr. To fill a PA28 with 40 galls would cost circa £300. By my calcs that puts the net cost of running a PA28 with aircraft lease towards£110 per hour. Not a large margin when hired out at less than £120 per hour. I wish them luck at Doncaster but they certainly seem to have set themselves some handicaps. If Sandtoft bounces back, and my gut feeling is it will, I wonder which way the members/ex members will vote ?
