You don't have to pay £120 an hour to fly post licence, with a share you can fly an economical type for £25-£35 an hour
and cost share to make it half that
True you will have some capital tied up and there will be a monthly fee, probably of around £40-60 a month but it's the way to go if you want to do loads of flying rather than just the minimum needed to keep your licence.
You could get a microlight NPPL and a share in a modern fixed wing microlight for the same cost as a PPL.
