Interesting that the advert identifies the airframe as MW404 (Indian AF serial HA557). Although the contact given is Gerry Cooper, the airframe for sale is of course neither G-PEST nor G-TEMT.
It’s been well known that ‘404 has been stored since recovery and there was speculation on the web at one time that ‘404 might have been one of the airframes noted in the Hemswell area a while back see: http://www.hawkertempest.se/MW404MW758.htm
The advert though illustrates the fuselage with an engine fitted (presumably the original) and says about the project that it has been “dry stored since recovery from India in 1985 ……”
The ad includes a Wright Cyclone 3350.
I see someone has just put up a link concerning the sale of MW376 – I believe that’s a completely different project isn’t it – once at Spanhoe, then Audley End, then France and more recently offered up by it’s latest owner who I vaguely recall was in the US ….either way that linked thread in Mark V’s post is not about MW404.

did we ever find out how much the chap wanted for the airframe, or did we just conclude half a million was close to the mark?

The La-9 has been for sale for a while. I must point out that a great number of warbirds are for sale if the offer is good enough!
