Has been interesting to note that in the last few weeks some interesting cockpits have been up for grabs. I doubt there will be another chance to acquire a RAF Vampire FB.5, RAF Venom FB.1 or a Twin Pin all at the same time. Just goes to show there is stuff out there still to be had.

very true, in the last couple of months alone there has also been a Flying Flea, Jet Provost 3, a Chippax and two AV-8 cockpits.
credit crunch perhaps? or something deeper?
either way, surely rich pickings for all those cockpit wannabes? :rolleyes:
….. however the AV-8s are from a business, and some of the others significants are from a collection.
no only one from Jet art, the first was offered by a forumite here and now owned by another

or do ~you~ have a Spitfire in your garage as well ???:rolleyes:
