Bill, I'm only responding to a suggestion made by others. if a group booking works out at so much less than that's the obvious way to go. But on some rough calculations last week. 200 travellers @ £200 each works out at £40.000 for return flights in total. Someone sugested that our own charter might work out cheaper than that. If ordinary seats work out at less than that-fine, if someone quoted more than that, and a charter was cheaper then that's fine as well.If they turned round and said £30.000 for the trip-then we'd all be flying cheaper, if they turn round and say £50.000 then obviously that's more. But if the available fare for ordinary peasants if £350 -£400 return-then we might be laughing all the way to the spending money bank I am only making tentative enquiries. yer doesn't know 'til yer asks!

It was also suggested that by hiring the plane we might have a little more degree of control over baggage, instruments etc.

Oh well, there's the justification for my fantasy and it makes a change from bloody school planning!

I'm not doing it for any other but to find out, you can do it if you want to!-sorry I'm tired-no-one else has come up with suggestions, and I'm not sharing a rocking bunk with skipjack-I'd get tossed off if the seas got rough

g'night
