McMurdo 220 plb.
About the cheapest I can find it in online equipment shops is about £235. ( Transair)
The same device purchased from Marine superstore £175 and it includes a floatation pouch and webbing pouch.
That’s £60 worth of fuel in the kitty.
This is normal.
However pilot shops have a hard time nowadays. Almost nobody buys aviation GPSs anymore so they make bits out of all kinds of stuff…

The only thing left for them to sell are headsets and flight bags. All the rest is digital. No more protractors for 15 Euros which can be bought in stationary shops for 2 Euros.
Forget the flight bags. Oil and other specialised items, headsets and that is about it.
