Try White Waltham - they've a 180 and a turbo

Rates might be on www.wlac.co.uk (http://www.wlac.co.uk) , if not, the phone number is!

Why not try the nearest thing to an Arrow - A Dakota ! check out www.g-bnyb.com (http://www.g-bnyb.com)
Probably will be based soon at Blackbushe.

The 180 at waltham is £125 and the turbo is £135/hr. (which is £1 per knot for both A/c)

You also get a proper club full of people interested in flying oh and no landing fees if you are a member.

How much do fairoaks charge?

E-mail me if you need more info.

Fairoaks doesn't have an arrow but if it did I shudder to think of the cost, their warrior is somthing like £140.

Thanks for the suggestion abouth the dak but does it have a floppy prop? i would also like retractable gear for the experience.

Yeah, it's basically an Arrow with the wheels welded down. So it's got a Proppy Flop, and a turbo and gives a respectable cruise. Bit less to go wrong or forget about really. I believe the rate will be VERY competitive - almost certainly less than Fairoaks' warrior.

It's a work colleague of mine who will be renting it, all pukka, full public Cat and gizmos, proper check out required but a decent aircraft by all accounts. I'll certainly be having a go at some point.
