I'm neutral on the debate, FWIW I wouldn't do it but I'm not dependent on someone paying for me to go flying.
However, I struggle with the advertised flight referred to above from Redhill.
Pilot is PPL with total hours of 73, prepared to fly at 500 feet - presumably above sea level - for stunning views of Beachy Head.
I read further and see he has 'travelled across the Channel a fair few times'.
At 73 hours ... How ??? Something can't be right ?
Surely even the densest member of Joe Public might be suspicious of entrusting themselves to a 73 hour PPL ? Darwin waiting to work ?
