ratsarrse,
I don't think you'll get an Auster or cub for 10K, more like 15K plus. Some are on a permit, so are cheaper to run.

You pay a premium for Cubs so could be a lot dearer

A few Cub groups about, usually 4 to 6 people so a share will be 2.5 to 4K. But pretty cheap per hour costs (25 to 40) depending how they split it.
Difficult to beat that type of flying, but I'm biased.
