No then to come down to earth (sorry to be the one)say you did manage to win the lottery or be wealthy enough to want to seriously upset your neighbours with this beast.Where would you put it ?.there aint many places that you could put it probably less than a handfull in the country big enough to handle it let alone really want it ?.
It states its life expired therefore its value drops by megga amounts what is the current value of scrap aluminium and what is still operational that might want spare engines etc ?.MMM ?. not a lot I can think of.If you could conceivably operate one I can see the CAA loving the application and bogging down the applicant with a minefield of paperwork for the next ten years !!!.Let alone who would you find approved to fly it ?.
In short it strikes me a lot like the engine advertised for sale as being the one and only prototype engine from the original TSR2 a snip at £1,000,000 and yes many museums would love to have it but realisticaly take a few noughts off the end and you may get some interest.
Lots of nice metal coming onto the market but please where the hell do they get the valuations from ? They have sold many of these types of aircraft before Quote. Yes who to Godafi ??
Unless I have missed the news a lot there aint that many lottery winners who could afford one !!!.

Would it be delivered in bubble-wrap…
If it did you’d probably have about £11 million worth of bubble-wrap! 😉

The last thing he sold was a 1995 Vauxhall Omega for £421
A couple of transactions further back, the feedback reads “good introduction to the pro rubber scene” … the mind boggles! 😀

One thing’s for sure, the postman would still try and stuff it through your letterbox.
“WHILE YOU WERE OUT ………..We tried to deliver your intercontinental nuclear bomber but there was no one in so we’ve shoved it behind your bin”.

Would it be delivered in bubble wrap, and boxed?.

Joking aside though, it would be nice to see one of these in the UK eventually, there`s just enough room in the Cold War Museum if you suspend it at 23.5° between the Belfast and the Hastings.

TBOC.
Callling Dr. Pleming…
That should keep him busy for a few more years.
