I wish our museum in Trenton would be able to acquire on of the C119s for display. They were based in Trenton Ontario with the RCAF and would really add to the museums static air park.

The former G-HUNT is going for $35,000!

About time they reduced the price, it was $50,000

Interesting to note the P64 on there, a type I have never heard of before (well, they only made 6). Seems almost identical to the CAC Boomerang. As both are derived from the T6 / Wirraway, I wonder how similar they are in construction / performance etc.

Some of those prices are amazing:

Airworthy Avengers for £110k
Fairly complete P39 project for £83k
Complete Firefly for £52k

I had no idea things were so cheap (well, relatively).
All I need to do is sell the house / wife / both and i’ll be at legends with a fleet of airworthy Avengers. Can’t wait. 😎
