I don’t know if this has been posted before. I can’t find it if it has.

Maybe the purchase price is lower than I would expect but the shipping charges to UK would be both arms and a leg plus I don’t have the space which is a real shame.

The white Apache is calling to me to save her, most unfortunate that finances and location don’t allow it.
Up until 6 month ago I had 3 Apaches in inventory.
2 have since been sold to Paintball Businesses.
The last one (red and white) was owned by Central Airways and was operated out of the Toronto Island Airport. Many people in our area got their twin rating on her and some still drop by to get their picture taken with her years later.
The asking price is much lower than you would expect.
Anyone interested cam p.m. me for details.

Hi Guys
The round engine cowl mixed in with the Cornell bits we think is from either a Fleet Fort or a Fleet 21 biplane . This has not been verified.
We have many many round engine cowls from various a/c.
All told approx 100 – 150 thousand parts in the inventory.
None of it is catalogued so if you need a part please send me a pic and part number. Pictures are preferred as they work better that part numbers.
Thanks

Cowling could be ex harvard mixed in. Quite a place to walk around for sure!

Thanks Darrell. Yes the canopy(ies) look more Cornell-like. But what about the seemingly radial cowling alongside?

Hello Laurence, Ken Gamble was quite a character, he did have a Harvard but it is long gone, that picture is the remains of a Fairchild Cornell , a trainer used in the BCATP. Our friend on this forum Fleet16b(Cam Harrod) is looking after all remaing stuff any inquiries could be made to him, he is quite an enthusiast himself, cheers Darrell

And a Harvard in picture 3, with some spare canopies it seems.

Certainly looks like one. And that’s a sad looking Apache in the last pics.

Isn’t that an Ercoupe in the eighth picture down, with the red markings?
