Speculation i know but IF they have gone to a trader such as Everetts who is able to openly deal with the general public then surely that would bode well for all MOD Phantoms when they come up for disposal, rather than always being scrapped on site?!

I don’t know about errors Ronnie, but that looks pretty impressive already. Fantastic work 😎

Somebody likes Wyverns!

😮 £102? 😮 Somebody SERIOUSLY wanted that copy :rolleyes:
Rob
You’re not alone Anne. The forum has some ‘gremlins’ apparently, which may now be sorted by the looks of it.
Rob
Short Sturgeon had them as well.

Of course, no worries Martyn 🙂
Rob
Interesting film.
At 40.34 in, i hope they are going to change that tyre before flying.!
Rob
Martyn, the comments in post #235 are meant to be light hearted, hence the 😀 icons. And when the said item actually sold i was not the next highest bidder, as someone else was bidding too. No problemo 😉

It was highlighted on here, but I think it was listed as being from an Avro Tudor!Pete
Ah that would explain it, thanks Pete.
Well David, the fact that H.M.S. Vulture has a prop hub and Wyvernfan doesn’t, means YES, it is true.
Ok ok, don’t rub it in :D. I can honestly say that i wish Andrew well with his excellent purchase, and i also hope he gets run over by a traction engine :p:D.
Only joking Andrew :), i’m only jealous.
Rob
Thats sad news. Never knew him in person but i only spoke to him about six months ago on the phone. Very friendly, helpful chap.
Condolences to Mick’s friends and family.
Rob
I don’t remember the Firebrand prop assembly being highlighted on here?! :confused:.
From a personal point of view it had a curiosity value for me having been the predecessor of the Wyvern in RN service, but was not a ‘must have’.
Also if i know someone is after a particular item for their project then i don’t bid myself… simples. People help me, then i help them :).
Rob
Martin, forumite Wolfie might be your best bet. A PM to him might get some results.
Rob
Yeah thats the fella. So your not tempted to put in an offer for the ebay prop blade then Andrew?
