Bargain if you ask me but when you take in the cost to get a pilot license it may be out of reach for most folk.

these type of things have been going on for years. models and books. years ago there was one about cars and started collecting them. got peed off near the end as it seemed to go past their adverised finishing time and just extended it on and on.

The company was on Watchdog years ago. This was the discontinued Dolls House magazine. Worked out it would have been cheaper to save up and buy a Dolls House, fully furnished from Harrods. Yes HARRODS.
