Tony Snow, "technical advisor" for our aviation video webpage (Tony is
retired RAF, and has forgotten more about aviation than I'll ever
know), confirmed for me today that it would cost $640+ for me to top
off Atlas -- our Cherokee Pathfinder -- in Great Britain.

Imagine! $640 to go fly! This *might* explain why there are only 9
registered Cherokee 235s in all of Britain, no?

Not to worry, however. Tony has confirmed that the streets in his
hometown *are* paved with gold, and that everyone eats steak daily, for
free, thanks to the taxes those remaining 9 pilots are paying...

Petrol here is $7.92 (NZ) per gallon.
AFAIK we don't have any Pathfinders :-)


Off topic, but what is the price of diesel fuel in Kiwi land, and is
biodiesel getting popular there?
