Anyone fancy parting with nearly 15k for the front end of a Tornado F2?

Not a stripped out one, anyway.

Something of a mystery item here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skylark-He...#ht_558wt_1110

It is described as a "Skylark Helicopter" and carries the US Civil Registration N34239.

According to the FAA Website (at http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinqu...4239&x=13&y=12) it was registered on Jan 29 1991 as an "Allentown Angel" - with the c/no 001, I suspect that it is very much a "one off" prototype/homebuild(?) 'copter. How or why it has turned up in the Leicester area is a part of the mystery!

Still, with an asking price starting at £600, and new rotor blades (said to be worth £2,000) thrown in, it may find a buyer...

I think it may struggle to get any form of approval to fly in the uk if it is a one off as suggested by its description.Also there is no suggestion of any documentation with it.

Anyone fancy a Beechcraft BE76 Duchess - there's one for sale on Evilbay here; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Beechcraft...item41626c782e

Aircraft is G-BODX, built in 1979. As the vendor admits "This aircraft was the subject of a gear-up landing here in Bournemouth a couple of years ago, which resulted in an insurance write-off. We are looking to create more space at our premises, and believe that this item would be perfect for somebody building a simulator, or as a static display to draw attention to your business. The bravest of you may even be tempted to use the Duchess as a garden shed.

Biggest attraction is the current asking price: £2.20

No, you read that correctly: two pounds, twenty pence. That's less than the price of a pint of beer. There was a time when beer was cheap and aircraft were expensive...

True that asking price is only for the "fuselage, doors, wings and empennage"; but if they can only get £2.20 for that, you could probably buy the whole airframe for, er, ten quid?

I'm tempted to put in a bid, but it is a bit too large for my window box (I don't have a garden)

But it has a reserve. £2.20 is only the current bid price

Zenith carburettor to suit a Gypsy 1. Just the thing for that DH 60 project.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-W...item3a704c38aa

It'd suit my project if I didn't already have one and a spare.

Cheers,

Yes, I was aware of that one and have made some attempts to obtain it from the RAF Museum, even if on loan at the time. The even have two, the other is a sectioned example for instructional purposes. The Trustees were very clear, they are not a warehouse where you can buy items. I can understand that but having one Halifax and three throttle boxes......

The one advertised in flypast was offered for 65 pounds at the time and was said to have come from a museum. That's all I remember.

Now, any Hampden throttle boxes lying in your garage?

Cees

Great item though Cees,a lot cheaper than my column........
Yes must be frustrating trying to get stuff from the RAFM collection especially when they have mutiples of stuff.Still it`s nice as a reference point for future generations and I know the museum is very precious of its collection.

Go on,tell her its an investment and it will keep the pidgeons away.

[Firebex]

I am trying to make out if its a TDL one as its doesnt look like a GB Replicas one unless its an early one .It does not show the interior to see if anything in it as some of the film production ones had a seat and dummy panels in.

And it looks like a Mk IX
