Thanyou Mark G,
I am so pleased that you have released that info on his previous sales,
he told me he got 5K each, and to be honest, I didnt know quite what it was worth,yet he told me years ago he sold some complete noses for £500, No he has none left,I myself thought it a bit steep for a hulk, but saying that it has got its bang seat and is in much much better condition than the predanick hunter that was sold to a paintball park for £2000,
I am glad someone on the site is forefront in letting us know a rough idea of price, after deliberation, i think in its condition, it may be worth £3000, but never £5000,
but yet until i was told different , how would i know if i have never bought such a item,
thanks again

It might be wise to wait for someone to verify my dodgy memory before getting too excited! My recollection is that they went for around the £1,800 mark…can anyone confirm that please? Or am I getting them confused with the Predannack one?
Either way, they went for nowhere near £5k. The trouble is people appreciate that buying an aircraft like this is one thing; dismantling, moving and re-assembling them is another thing altogether and costs a lot of money.
Something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it of course, and there have been cases where, in my opinion, excessive amounts of money have been paid for complete aircraft or cockpit sections. Good luck to the sellers in those cases!
As buccsociety says, these aircraft originally cost the seller a lot of money (and he had a lot of them at one point) so you can’t blame him for trying to get some of it back!
