It's a fact of life, no one can stop the murg from troyding at Egnh!

Slightly off topic but, i flew in to egnh a few weeks ago in my ev97 Eurostar from barton which has got me thinking, can anyone explain why the flying schools clubs at egnh are buying used c150's or 152's rather than a rotax powered aircraft eg ev97 Eurostar or similar?

I've moved from Blackpool to barton just because of the cost. The ev97 I now fly burns only 11 l/hr of fuel. The C150/152's at egnh burn double that at 21-22 l/hr and the pa 28's a whopping 35 l/hr. The fuel saving is passed onto the customer which results in very economical & affordable flying.
Question is why are there zero of these aircraft based at Blackpool?
