    Some of those prices are amazing:

    Airworthy Avengers for £110k
    Fairly complete P39 project for £83k
    Complete Firefly for £52k

    I had no idea things were so cheap (well, relatively).
    All I need to do is sell the house / wife / both and i’ll be at legends with a fleet of airworthy Avengers. Can’t wait. 😎

    Hi all,
    On the subject of living in control towers, there is a bloke who lives in the old control tower at Honeybourne in Worcestershire. I also once read an article in the Times about a woman who had bought an entire airfield somewhere in the outer Hebrides and lived in the control tower.

    Thanks

    Speaking of Gulf War Buccs, isn’t the RAF Museum example called Guinness Girl? Or is that another one.

    Cheers

    Isn’t that big yellow engine really a sea Griffon not a Merlin? I think it came out of one of those boats sitting outside.

    Good idea Alex, I’ve often felt an irresistable urge to rummage around the old buildings on the other side of the road when parking over there at Duxford shows. Bet there’s some interesting stuff hidden away (hopefully not in dustbins though :rolleyes: ).

    Thanks

    Thanks for your replies.

    So, four or five grand could get me a good Merlin………interesting.
    Any ideas on where to get one?
    What about Griffons?

    Thanks
