Yep sorry must've fat fingered something possibly added 20ltrs to each tank for some reason. Yep so long as your two pax aren't fatties it's a reasonable payload

If it's 10 years old it hasn't sold enough in the UK. Suggests to me that it would be very difficult to sell on.

My understanding on the complexities of fuel/airframe/CAA approvals is not the best, I know my plane works just fine from the pump but I've heard many times that currently we have not received permission from the CAA to use E5 for any aircraft. This may have changed in light of the manufacturers saying it's ok. There will definitely be someone that knows better than I what the current state of play is.
