Wow, what a thread. I must say I have given it a rating of 5 for its sheer readability!!

Hey Karl, what colour headsets do you use for your training......THeyrE NoT PInk are They? In fact, now I come to think of it, has your mum recently completed her PPL?

NO

I have a grey headset. Why? If I brought a aircraft with the regestration G-NSOF could I get it changed to something like G-BEET?

Karl,

Yes you can subject to paying a smallish fee to the CAA and that the registration has not been used before.

Lots of good things have been said already but make sure you have a good look around before you commit to a specific make and model.

All aeroplanes are a compromise and it would be good to match that what you are getting with what you want to use it for.

Best of luck.

Karl,

On the insurance angle (have no knowledge of buying/selling/keeping aircraft!) your best bet would be to check the adds in one of the flying magazines - most of the insurance brokers that deal with small business advertise there. The concept of direct insurance hasn't really taken off in the UK (pardon the pun) and a broker can probably give you a rough indication over the phone, and possibly some advice as to which aircraft/uses you will find cheaper to insure.

If I come across anything more useful, I will post on...

Hate to disappoint you Karl, but G-BEET's already taken... Jaguar T2. Now THAT would be a fun bit of kit, I hear the present owners will be getting rid of 'em soon...

Devil I've got it all wrong!

All this time I've been looking for a rich old man with a Yak-52 and about 3 months to live......seems I've got it wrong!

Off to dig out my old school uniform!!

heh Karl, aeroplanes aren't like cars..you can't always pick and choose and invent your own reggie!

G-KARL brings up no search results - ring the CAA now and reserve it!

So if you don't want a Cessna, what are you looking at?

G-KARL

I heard that older cessanas can be quite troublesome in the later years?

Can you really reserve G-KARL?
