To add to it and with reference to the use of taxis: when one considers that there is a budget of £10 000 PER MONTH for ferrying around AOG spares via taxi, one can see why the company makes a loss! That, I believe, does not include the cost of positioning spares with light aircraft. It may only be a drop in the ocean in the 'big picture' but it all adds up.
