It was maybe if I wanted to take parents to see family up north if it was practical but guess not.
It
is practical provided that it doesn't matter to you very much that you might be planning the trip three weekends running before it works on the fourth. The family up north would have to be available every weekend until you got the right weather as well of course.
And that's if you can book a plane for the weekend without paying for three hours each day whether or not you fly them (ie the trip costs around £1k), because the aircraft would otherwise be earning money doing three or four lessons each day.
Or if you don't mind taking time off work during the week, when you're more likely to be able to do a deal on taking an otherwise idle aircraft away overnight.
