Still there but the word on the street is that the nose is to be chopped and the rest will be going to the scrapman.

dear o dear, what an absolute fool!! a man that did no home work at all before diving in feet first, a car dealers dream. An even bigger fool for paying 15 grand without even going to see it, and given the aircrafts well known bad condition. The previuos owner must have been gob smacked to almost get his pourchase price back 20 years later for a total wreck.

Not again! We have discussed this to death before….the chap is not an ‘absolute fool’…..misguided and a trifle naiive yes, but not a fool. He will make most of his money back on dirty scrap price and end up keeping a nose etc for his pub garden. I personally hope he succeeds. 🙂

Make that three times the original purchase price, from memory the going rate was around £5000 including delivery!
