just a thought, i know there is a website with all the military stuff for sale on it, called milweb.. however there doesnt seem to be much in this way of web site for this side of the pond ..
It would be nice to have a site that lists all the aviation dealers ,be it scrap or collectables, or cockpit, to whole redundant airframes, museums etc, ,but with items for disposal,sale or swap..or wants, I would think it a good way of saving parts, etc that otherwise might be thrown out , as there seems to be no wants, sales list in the uk, and europe, its all in house etc .. thought it might be a good idea to bring these treasures into the open ??… as the old saying goes.. one mans scrap… is another mans gold,
I have been impressed with milweb for many years.. and like there set up.
I have been tinkering with the idea of setting up a website for this purpose.
nothing as grand as this forum, just something almost identical to milweb, but for the aviation buff, collector etc,
it would be a novel way to get my mind off my divorce, and give something useful back.. i am no expert, but I wondered if any of you out there would find this useful ???
your thoughts please:)

yes.. and a great site it is too. the cockpitfest site.. one of my faves. but there are many dealers with relics, parts to offer, salvage dealers too, who do not use the site.
i know its a big undertaking.. but have you seen the milweb set up, look at say deactivated guns in the classifieds, helmets etc, they change almost daily.. and its become one of the main sites to atract people who collect miltaria, as they also have most of the dealers details online too
it seems really a purely for sales, and wants website , from a t55 tank to a set of spanners,
it was just a idea, good or bad.. is crossed my mind from time to time 🙂

A big undertaking – partly already covered here!
