SCAM ALERT BE VERY CAREFULL.

I and a few others have received messages purporting to come from either Ebay or Paypal using our email address BUT NOT our paypal or ebay ID. Stating we have received payment for goods we have sold on Ebay one being a post man pat vehicle th eother being an Aircraft Engine.It then has links to view the transaction.

DO NOT CLICK THE LINKS ETC. These are scams to do nothing but give unwanted visitors on your computer and also to give other people your ebay and Paypal information ,passwords and your account details. !!!!!

I looked at it twice and very nearly pressed a button then realised I dont have anything currently for sale !!!!!!.

The Nasties are about again.

Also that engine is not as described it has been opened up and stripped of anything of use,if you look at the pictures you can see this has happened.

Thats about £4,750 sterling does it include shipping please ??

restoration XG743:D

if I recall correctly from my time at Coventry two or three of the DC3 fleet actually still had the
fittings and part of the gear mounted on the rear bulkhead under the tail cone for Glider towing.
I cant remember which ones but think it was some of the spraying ones and not the passenger freight ones.

It was all hectic at the time I recall we had to do a major wing mod on 11 airframes in about 2 weeks and man handling a DC3 wing is not funny and all those damn bolts.

did there not used to be some intact shelters still at Biggin Hill or have they gone now ??

If I want something I follow the advice given to me by Bill T (WV903 on this Forum): put a massive bid on it at the last moment (that you can afford, of course) to win it. It doesn’t mean that you end up paying that if you win it, only the bid increment above the next highest bid.

Works for me, and I rarely pay more than I want to.

re vampire pod not in very good condition if you look carefully.

And it is noted no instrument panels seem to be in place .Are they there even ??.

No panels and fittings and damage could make it an expensive lump of

ply and balsa when you take into account transport.

good luck with your project .Are you going to feature the project on the web or just do news feeds ??.:cool:
