The F-84 looks very nice and I certainly wouldn’t say no to it, the photos are also very clear which I think is great as so often things are dark or out of focus. However the estimates for some of the lots are quite expensive, 500 euro for a ‘Mig 29 chronograph’ or 1200 euro for a ‘wall light made of Hawker Hunter elements’

What about the SU25’s? They are mean litttle machines.

Hi Deskpilot
I did post a vague reply to you above but had put the wrong login name so maybe you didn’t see it. Wasn’t about AI23’s anyway.

Thread creep!!

Hi Deskpilot, I was once in communication with someone who worked for Ferranti in regards to Jaguar LRMTS’s, he said that the company was offered all of the RAF LRMTS’s back when the Jag was withdrawn for only 1 pound each but the company had nowhere to store them so declined the offer. Could be a furphy but that is what he said.

You would think if it was presented it would not be years after the event and the plaque would be on the front rather than a bit of paper stuck on the back?

Just thinking a bit here, could they possibly have been crew members together when something memorable happened and then after the war when they had returned to the US one of them aquired an aircraft clock (whatever was available) and presented it to the other as a thank you type of thing.

Keep the pics coming

Matt, are they clamps on the ends of the forks to keep the lifting straps coming off? I bet you did those up tight!

TO23, some interesting photos there.

Here are 2 of mine, winching the Su22 from the front of the house through the garage to the back and then rolling it back upright using a ratchet strap and some old fence posts, in this photo you can also see the broom handles it was rolled through on, I felt a bit like an ancient Egyptian moving blocks of stone for a pyramid. A few steel bars are also very useful.

Great replies, I don’t have any need to move things over large distances, one of my cockpits is on castors and another on a tandem trailer, just interested in stories such as pagens and WB556s’ on how to move large objects in confined or small spaces with easy to hand equipment. It is amazing what can be achieved with hand tools or ‘field machines’.

Blimey, if only I had the wings to hang them on.

That is a decent price rise considering the current economic climate, the prices will probably come down again when the RAF decide they don’t need all of the GR1’s as training airframes anymore and the market gets flooded. Is Roy still looking to sell his?

Everetts were selling GR3’s for 7000 pounds not that long ago so this seems fairly expensive unless the market has changed considerably.

TonyT, thanks for thinking of me.

Pity about the Phantom fin, that would have been real nice. My Su22 fin is not too heavy and a friend and I could manhandle it ourselves, still needed a very large trailer to fit it on though.
