Obviously they don't think weight is an important factor. The current "high bidder" is purple-felix (http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=purple-felix&iid=300012997602). I wonder if he lives in Northwood?
Will it be in flying condition? only £20k Bargain

Oh yes, provided that you have 300m of knicker elastic and a blinkin' large stick to wind it around, or, failing that, an enormous catapult :E
No it won't. It hasn't got an engine!
Some Museum will snap it up, but i wouldnt be paying £20k for it...
I could always fly with an elastic band
Never mind the knicker elastic the new high bidder has a purchase history of hold up stockings and leather mini skirts, must be looking to keep it in a Naval family:eek: :eek:
ALWAYS assume NEVER check

As much as I would like to have one, I haven’t got the garden space for one.
Is it worth £25,100?
How much for an engine?

Price on application for a Pegasus 104 from Everett Aero. It's apparently where Art Nalls (USMC bloke who's going to airshow an FA2 stateside) bought his.

hmmmmmmmmmm
Currently at 35 K.
I'd quite like to buy one, put it on the drive, and rig up a sound system and a few reversed vacuum cleaners. Pop out the door in flying kit just at the same time as Mr jones next door is getting into his Mondeo. Bid him good morning, climb the ladder, strap in and wind it up. Lots of noise and dust blowing everywhere
Got to be work £250 quid on you've been framed:ok:

and even took part in the attack that sunk the Argentinean battleship The Belgrano:confused:
Wreford-Brown's dad attempted to teach us naval history at the University of South Devon in the 70s :ok:
