I imagine it will be a pretty short queue at prices like that.
What does a Mustang actually cost to run? Nowhere even remotely close to the £7,000 per hour they're asking I imagne.

Must tell my friend whose grandfather was nav to Wg Cdr Malcolm when he won his posthumous VC. He might well be up for the Blenheim. Now what are the chances of a flight in a Piston Provost.........

Where do the quote ‘£7000 per hour’...?

20 minutes in a Mustang costs £2,250, so an hour wouldn't be far short of 7 grand.

Yes a bit pricey! I paid less in dollars for over double the time in a Mustang earlier this year in the US! Best money I have spent in a long long time!!
