With great precision you miss the point, the aircraft you are looking at makes more money for the owner if it never flys so why should the owner encourage it to be flown ?

You as a low time PPL are a dream customer for the group, with the combination of aircraft avalabilty and the limitations of the UK weather on you as a new PPL you will not get to fly the aircraft very much and I would hazard a guess that by the end of year one your hourly cost for an hours flying will be IRO £270.

It would be interesting to get an idea of the composition of the group, because being based at an airfield with instrument approaches the last person the owner would want to rent to would be a high time pilot with an IR and business interests all over the place. Are their any guys like that in the group ?

As always only time will tell if I am correct but I have been around long enough to have seen it all before!
