Thanks for all the replies guys,
Yes I know 100% would be the best, but as said above it's not really an option and I do no where near the hours to even justify it, even a 10% share would work out a bit more expensive than just self hiring however I've always wanted to be part of a group, so if I can put a deal together on the buy in etc I will probably give it a go, assuming I like the plane.
So yes, it is 10 x 10% shares, 3 of the members use it just for revalidation and last year it flew 70 hours.
My main concern is just the flying side of it, to make sure it's a good first step into owning a share, being able to carry at least 2 pax even though I never have so far, it's usually just one.
PS. It's out of Elstree
