    I/We/Beech boys from bruntingthorpe went to see it at the back end of last year…..chap wanted £10,000 for it…………spar is lets say “seen better days”…..exfoliating corrosion in the centre section mainspar…wing joints destroyed…..only 1 engine frame….all steel parts VERY rusty

    completely gutted…..covered in green slime…..tucked into a yard about 10 miles from sandtoft…..big dogs guarding the place…..it is going to be a real “B” to shift it out of there.

    It will cost a fortune to just get it to a static condition…..it really ain’t worth it…..it is about £9,999.99 too expensive IMO….i have pics if anyone is interested. BAHA should not waste their money….It is too late to save this one i am afraid.

    the easy way to tell is by the fins

    if the horizontal stabiliser (tailplane) extends outboard of the vertical fins it is a lockheed

    engines look the same, cabin looks the same windows are different, landing gear looks the same

    lots of similarities, but the dead giveaway if the fin thing

    hope this helps
