It’s worth noting, in the interests of understanding the mindset of the “enemy”, that the issue of the return of the “Malvinas” seems to be universally popular in Argentina, much more so than in this country re the Falklands. Don’t underestimate their determination to get hold of the islands. I doubt very much that they will drop their claim any time soon. It’s much more important to them than it is to us, which doesn’t bode well for the future.

Do Vulcan grips have brake levers? Not sure if it is Vulcan

I mean the one in the first 2 pics without the brake lever, with the 3 US B8 grips.

I would personally recommend Graham’s book on the Valkyrie.

Personally I’m not sure why there is sometimes such a negative gut reaction to “advertising” on the forum.

If a historic aircraft or part thereof is for sale, what better place for it to be discussed and for interested buyers and sellers to get into contact than a forum dedicated to this subject? As long as the seller’s interest is declared and false statements are not made (which would probably be picked up immediately anyway), what is the harm? It’s easy to circumvent the rules anyway by getting a friend to point to one’s “for sale” items on e-bay or anywhere else. The only people who may not benefit would be those who don’t collect and don’t want to wade through a lot of posts about stuff for sale. But then these posts could be collected on a special thread like the ebay one.

Just my personal view and I don’t wish to antagonise anyone.

eBay is transparent and anyone prepared to make an offer here is likely to bid. Recent listings are probably not a great precedent given less desirable types etc. Ebay’ll get you a wider audience too. Got to be worth trying.

Or put it on E-bay?

crl848, can you post a couple of pics please?

Hi, it’s in the workshop at the moment having a custom chassis built as I got fed up with the agricultural trailer it was balanced on before. A cursory search of my computer reveals only the attached photo. It certainly looks like mine, though I couldn’t swear to it.

Just to let you know that XM191 Wouldn`t of sold for such a low figure, I`m sure the reserve was a lot more than the final auction price. So she should be moving with him to his new premises. So it might be worth contacting him to go and take some pictures, I think it is fairly complete.

May I ask if anyone knows if the cockpit did indeed sell, and if not how to contact the owner.

Thanks in advance.
