Just about to…

The B25 is rotton main spar cut in two places heavt corrosion cockpit stripped and when anyone is at weald again look at whats holing it up…

the props are dug in to the ground,

I beleve its been left to fall in to such a state as there was a dispute over the owership, who would want to carry out any major work on it if it turns out YOU dont own it after all.

A shame to see it in such a sad looking state but these things happen if anyone would take it on it’ll be a big big job just to move it and the restoration would prove problematical but if someone wats to do it go for it it’ll be nice to see her saved.

I am in the very very very long process of copying the auction catalouge into an HTML document every entry!

I was lucky enough to get hold of one with a few remarks in listing highest price paid.

one example was a Silver Plated Luftwaffe Toast Raak WW2 vintage £110 to a Mr Ray Hanna… I think just need to check.

To all those that have posted picture is it ok for me to use them on my site when I up-load it, you will be given full credit your name will apper

Cassa 2.111 G-AWHB many thanks to Your Name Collection (C) your name.

That would have been the “Southend Spitfire” which was displayed for a time in Victoria Avenue, before moving to the museum this was G-CDAN (TB863) now flyin in New Zealand as ZK-XVI.

Or I could just stand by it and drop one…

but then Blackpool would be unihabitable for the next 100 yeras!

as for the cockpit section there is not much left in side, water has penertrated and the rot has set in the cost of restoration is not for the faint hearted.

about a galon of super glue should do the trick

on a serious note:

if anyone should buy it it will be one hell of a job to remove it, you need winchs and a stand for the thing, thata even if you can get the bolts that hold it in out,

another consideration is the safety of the aircraft working underneath it taking a heavy engine out.

The govenment is pathetic how can a real but de-activated 303 be a danger to the public, have you ever seen CCTV footage of somebody holding up a bank with one.

The robber would struggle to lift off the ground if he tryed to fire it…
