I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

Hi Nigel
That has been for sale since the eighties and is the most airworthy example in existance.
That is the time remaining on the airframe.
However it is full of asbestos and is unlikely ever to go anywhere :-(
It is one of several they sold on including G-BISU and G-AMLK

Hi Nigel
I think they are having a final go at selling it
Mark Cranston visited it for me earlier this year and it was a bit of a horror story

Shame about the asbestos...
Just think, cockpit set up for FS and the rest converted into extra guest rooms...
I'm sure we could shoe-horn it into a certain pub car-park somehow :think:

I think the postage from NZ might be a bit steep
