Foreign aid to poor dictator….

Thank you Martin, and thank you Mark12. I bet if you throw some dineros towards Mr. Mugabe, aka “Bob” among friends… 😉 he will sell it to you as he is such a poor ruler… :diablo: :diablo:

Ah yes I remember this one. They put it up for tender in July 1990. I, and judging by the visitor book at Old Sarum, several others, spent a lot of time and effort flying down to Zim to inspect and place a bid on it.

They decided to remove it from the tender without so much as an apology for the inconvenience, time and money spent. 😡

Hello All,

Having seen the current issue of Flypast, with the Hunter preserved on a stick in Harare, I wonder if anyone knows the fates of the 15 or so Hunters, and several Canberras that were offered for sale in either 2002 or 2003 ?

I think they were offered for sale by tender, and might have appeared in Flight
International. But cannot remember.

Cheers

Tim

Last I heard they couldn’t sell them because they were asking too much?

TJ, which Spitfire would that be then?
