Some interesting and unloved aircraft here

Many aircraft appear to be abandoned when the major engine overhaul is due, for a C150 that could cost $20k (about £13k) then you’ve got the prop and other bits and bobs to think about. It soon gets cheaper to buy another aircraft!

The frame is rotten -I looked in depth at it ten plus years ago and the owner was seriously deluded as to its value.

If it is the one just outside Ipswich, it has been rotting in that hedge since the early sixties, to my certain knowledge.

The same.
Last time I drove by (about 6 months ago) it was covered.

I’d love to take an engineer with me to look at it…I wonder if it could be saved.
As a Super Cub (L-21) it very well could be worth saving economically.
My local vintage airplane restorer friends would love it…

In know of a fabric-less Super Cub near Woodbridge.

I just returned from the Grant County Airport, Moses Lake, Washington.

I saw the long-term, often mentioned, seldom-seen Douglas B-23.

The good news is that it’s hangared and is appearently being worked on.
It has two brand new tires…stickers still on the bottom.
Nice ship, hopefuly it will fly again soon.

Locally, at our two GA fileds there is a Cessna 310B or C, a lete model Piper Apache, a razorback Cessna 172, a Mooney Cadet (a single-tailed Ercoupe) and a Twin Beech.

The local community college aviation program has all kinds of mummies…the most notable being a T-39 Sabreliner and sections of O-2s and various SE Cessnas as well as the front half of a nice looking King Air (wonder what the story is there?).
The good news is they buy planes like that for not much money, have the students fix them up and sell them on to help with their funding.

A good few.

So sad 🙁 Are there many abandoned aircraft in the UK? I found this nice C150 last year:

Interesting but sad photos – would love to save the Cessna Bobcat.

Thanks for posting.
