So it is going up then
.
Our friend Mr. Brown has added nearly 6p / litre AVGAS duty during his six year reign at the Treasury. His Tory predecessors added nearly 10p / litre in a similar period, but how much money does the treasury spend on GA?
B!gger all.
I wouldn't mind if the government funded LARS or subsidised GA airfields out of the duty, but they force the industry to fund them via ATC charges and landing fees.
At least road users get (mostly) free roads for their MOGAS duty...
