I am newly qualified and currently happy with the non-equity club rental for the moment, but I would love to get into something a little faster, and dare I say it, more interesting. I should be past the 100hrs sticking point by the end of the year and plan adding my night/IR(R) ratings this winter so should be fairly insurable by then. The only problem is, there are very few, if any shares available anywhere near me. There is a definite North/South divide when it comes to aviation, whether that be choice of GA airfields, or aircraft shares. Being based in rural Northumberland certainly doesn't help matters I'll admit, but even extending my search to 1hr+ driving there is still essentially nothing 'better' than my current rental. There is an RV4 at Prestwick but that is a 3hr drive each way making even the shortest of flights an all-day proposition.
Do decent shares tend to be word of mouth? Is there a secret website somewhere or is there really just nothing at this end of the country?
I guess I better just pull my finger out and get my RV8 finished.
