    We were there and saw the accident happen – I am still numb and the image will live with me forever.

    Our heartfelt condolences to the pilots family and friends.

    The big question which no one seems to have discussed here is – how much?

    The Yorkshire press article states that the “servicable” aircraft are likely to go for a couple of hundred thousand, but in reality they dont have any engines fitted.

    A new/replacement Garrett Turbo Prop is going to cost £60/£100k at current $ exchange rates, then add in the cost of overhauling the aircraft to start with. I dont know how much Everett Aero are asking for the one they have for sale but would suspect it cant be that much as a basic airframe – £40/£50k? so at a guess it would seem that it is going to cost circa £200k to get one in the air.

    Anyone have any ideas?
