The biggest problem will still be a shortage of destination airports with approach aids which are low cost to access
Which is what I think will cause the gulf. If your mission is met by flying a Cirrus (when you might have flown a Cessna 310 before) and is met by landing at airports like Cannes or Toussus le Noble, that's OK. But I don't think the UK will have any airports to match within a few years as the choice will be grass strip or major airport.

It is OK having the aircraft but if the airports aren't there to serve your mission, the profile has to change.
