Glad you liked the video of 9J-PAA – just incase anyone is feeling “flush” at the moment, 9J-PAA is still for sale and has been drastically reduced!

Basically if you have £100,000 spare, you can have it delivered to the UK, complete with Spares and a Ferry Crew, and its 100% airworthy.

Wether of course it can be flown once here, is another matter. 🙂

I am sure someone can answer this, but whats the score with regard to preserving a type in the UK in flying condition, am i correct in thinking that it requires some sort of support from OEM`s etc, in order to get CAA approval……if thats the case i wonder how it would work with something like the Carvair.

Having done a bit more digging tonight, i think the following is roughly correct.

Still flying are ;

N89FA – (As mentioned above) Gator Global – Formally G-ASHZ
N898AT – Brooks Fuel Alaska – Formally C-GAAH Hawkair & originally Ansetts VH-INK ( never UK Reg)

9J-PAA – Phoebus S-Africa – Formally N5459M and again an Ansett VH-INM

Others sadly scrapped or crashed in the last 10 years included
N55243 (G-AXAI),
9Q-CTI ( G-ASKG )
N103 ( G-ASDC )
N83FA ( G-AREK )

Rumour has it 9J-PAA – Phoebus S-Africa – Formally N5459M and again an Ansett VH-INM was for sale at $250,000 US Dollars, for those of you Lotto winners 😉
