Although now he's gone to the dark side with an R22 the price of 'fuel only' *cough* has gone up to £90 for 45 mins, which I think is beyond reasonable costs to us after travelling to the airfield too.

Still, frees up some time for drink or two.
That's a shame but in all honesty I only feel safe in a commercial airlines plane
