Blimey, its even more lame than I first thought. The gauges are not even clocks, they are coasters. The lack of cables should have been a give away. What a joke.

Do you think they could do one in EUJet livery?

What worries me is this character is presumably wandering loose in the community only 70 miles away. Perhaps the mad swan bug has spread northwest from Fife.

I don't believe anyone could have the sheer guts to sell a complete piece of rubbish like that.

The EBAY advert says at the bottom
It includes C.H. USB flight yoke, keyboard and computer, earphones and 4 flight dials on the right hand side.
The pictures are not great as the photo was taken at night .


Well they say that old 1980's Acorn Electron's can fetch good money these days!

The dials? :lol: :lol: Looks like something Fisher Price would be proud of.

As far as the pictures go. Whether taken in night or day, its inside the house for **** sake. Whats going to get better in the day?

Mum coming in the room acting as ground crew in a high vis vest?
Perhaps the sunlight shining on the detailed fuselage will change our minds?

Jeez, the worlds gone mad readers!..

It looks a bit cramped for my tastes! Maybe it was an old photo booth, and you have to put in £3 to get things to work.
Onwards and Upwards!!!!!!!!

Cramped is probably a good way to describe it. Although I would'nt even pay £3 to buy it, let alone put it in the slot! :think:

I think the guy selling it needs to think up a whole new business strategy. Perhaps re-write the advert to read something like:

"Astonish your friends with this amazing scaled down realistic replica of a British Airways tea trolley complete with up to date ZX81 and wall coasters"

You need to get thing in perspective here Eddie :think:

If that's based on a Boeing then it is quite advanced :whistle:

I love the bit about it being in BA livery. It might be an ex BA 737 simulator :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm afraid he must think the world's as daft as he obviously is

If you look at the content of his feedback, his previous sales have been purses :shock: or FS software.

Getting out of FS to sell purses full time perhaps. :lol:
