Fab day, went there with a few other forumites, hope to see this event firmly established on the aerojumble calendar.

I would also weigh up offers and consider EBay, but weigh up their charges etc against possible sales, I take it you are trying to maximise monies for the family.
Remember offers here will not be subject to those charges etc from PayPal and EBay.

I think the last Lanc or Lincoln wheel went for something like (approx) 1200-1300 quid on ebay or maybe more?

I echo what is said above, we all know the attitude of the authorities and what happened to a certain collector! Harmless as deactivated items may be in this day and age authorities take (and cannot take) no chances.

I hope that all of Ken Wards collection was saved.

Yes I too have flown on Emirates 777-300 to Brisbane, cannot fault the aircraft or service on business class.

eBay is without doubt the way forward, brings Aircraft parts and collectables direct to your living room. That’s my humble opinion.

Not strictly eBay but worth a mention to collectors of aviation memorabilia

Never used this site before, just came across it but thought it may interest someone.

The first post says it all “Last vehicles 30 minutes before closure” (closes at 8.30pm.)
If this is the rule for which he is paid to uphold then the employee is in the right and correctly doing his Job. End of story.

Talking of which there seems to be quite a few Nimrod componants on different auction/sales sites, at reasonable prices, seems to be an awful lot of seats about.

Out of interest what other sites are selling Nimrod parts?
