    on a web search I found that they claim to have the best engineers of spit restoration in the world must be good as no body has ever heard of them if they actually exist why don’t they say who they are allright on another track can people list who they think can add up to 140 years expeariance I mean it would take 10 people with 14 years each with hands on so to speak

    I think you will find that G-HUEY does not belong to Kennet or has ever done.

    Ray and Mark were good but you guys have very short memories as the best of the best in my opinion were the late great Michael ” Hoof ” Proudfoot, John Larcombe, Neil williams etc, etc, etc.

    Right lets bring some realism to this thread 10 grand for a flier ( I’ll have some of what he’s on ) this unit as it stands is only worth scrap metal value. As Bruce says all the metal parts could be scrap, the spring units are missing and the adjuster/tensioner is disconnected or missing the seat pan (4 pieces) if they are cracked and or delaminating so without flying out there to survey it then it is worth £500 at a push £1000 might not even be worth the air fare

    Lets hope they gather the necessary evidence to clear up the tragedy.

    agree totally and maybe stop the idle and often inncorrect speculation that often appears on this forum (and others)
