Happy memories of LE from 1971 when as a teenager I did casual work for the club on Saturdays for 6 shillings (30p) an hour to my flying account which funded most of the first 10 hours of my PPL including several solo flights. The hourly rate then was somewhere around £8 and hour.
Now an ex PPL, ex glider pilot living in South Cheshire, if anyone flying from Barton or Sleap or anywhere in between has a spare seat, I would be delighted to cost share. Phil B.
