Popham airfield has C-150 aerobat going for £95 wet (need 100hr TT).
The hours thing comes about as we don't teach for the PPL, being unlicensed so the owner cuts costs on the insurance quote by accepting a 'minimum hours' limitation As an aside on this 'hours' thing, I'm not sure why insurance companies quote for 'total time' at the lower end of the market. It's only a feeling (no figures) but I would have thought 'time after licence' might be more relevant. Someone with 80 hours might have just got a licence and have little experience, or might have had 35 hours post licence experience with an IMC rating,

Irv,
Very nice to see a Popham insider here! I fly at Lasham, couple of miles from Popham. With £90wet/80TT, I will definitely join Popham once I have the hours. Popham is attractive for me for having a C150 aero as I'm into aerobatics. It will be nice to do some aerobatics while build some hours. I heard that there is no landing fees as well once a full member(£100/yr), isn't it? WIth these, I think popham is probably one of the most affordable place to fly in the UK.
There is a SF-25C Falke (TMG) in lasham going for £63/hr wet. I plan to build up to 80 hours on it.
