Group Ownership near London
I'm trying to find out how to go about finding a group ownership plan for a Cessna 172.
How would you suggest someone go about finding out about people interested in group ownership that I can buy a Cessna with, or preferably joining an existing group?
I'm training for my PPL currently (will that be a problem with group ownership schemes?), after having done about 30 hours in the States when I was 18, 8 years ago. I'm very committed to putting about 6 hours a month, so I think it makes financial sense. The one problem I see, the nature of my work is such that I can almost never train during the week - so I need all my hours on the weekend!
I live in London, and have been going out to Southend airport (near Chelmsford).
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Wael

Funny, I thought Southend airport was near Southend. Seriously though, try looking on the web at AFORS and The Hangar etc and then maybe have a fun weekend going to places like North Weald, Stapleton, Clacton and Great Oakley airfields and meet some people and get the word out.

Why are you fixed on a Cessna? Seems a bit limiting to me, and they're not exactly known for their sparkling performance.
We operate a 4-seater out of Rochester, we're 6 at the moment but the aircraft is underused and we'd probably be happy to talk to somebody who will add to her usage.
PM me for further details.

My mistake :-)
I should have guessed there's a city called Southend nearby! I just have an instructor who points out Chelmsford and the river Crouch whenever we are in the sky... I'm a recent arrival to the UK.

North Weald flying group, possible openings
Can you give me a little information about your Robin group?
I haven't been out to North Weald airport yet, do you know if it's accessible by train from London (I live near King's Cross). I'm a somewhat new arrival to the UK, and don't know my way around quite yet!
Would your insurance be ok as long as I have a licensed trainer as P1 with me until I get my PPL?
Can you send me some details on your group, the aircraft type, hours, starting costs, and hourly rate?
Thanks,
Wael
