Sorry but £15 per hour WET doesn't sound nearly enough to me.

A Cessna 150 might burn about 6 USG per hour, which is about 28 ish litres. Cheap avgas might cost 80p per litre so that's £22 before you start.

Sorry, no calculator, perf figures or fuel price guide with me but I would think this is in the right ball park. To this price you would want to add some money per hour so as to penalise those that fly the aircraft most to build up a maintainqnce fund), perhaps about £15 per hour.

It sounds like a typo to me, I would expect it to be £15 DRY, so expect to pay £37 wet, which is still a bargain! (in my group I pay about £130 per hour wet, but thats my fault for enjoying flying upside down!)
