Does anyone know if there is a written off/ non Airworthy H300 (In the UK) that might be for sale? I am looking for the cockpit and skids mostly.
Cadet project so it needs to be relatively cheap.
Any ponters greatly appreciated.

There used to be (about 2 years ago!) a bubble + skids at Oxford airport that was part of CSE maintenance.
When they stopped the flying school the training heli's were sold, but I don't know what happened to the remnants?
The old salesman (steve something) is now at Cabair Cranfield if that is of any use.

Hughes 269A damaged beyond economical repair last Monday in Peacehaven...subject to an insurance claim for the time being, but afterwards it may be available....
PD
Caseright at Turweston might have one/know of one.

Thanks, for the suggestions.
I have seen the ones at Biggin but they are still able to be made airworthy. I am looking for something that can be chopped up (Possibly)and mounted on a stand or trailer and used as a static display or thing of interest. The H300 would be better than a R22 cockpit because it is higher off the ground, has bigger doors/openings and is roomier for general people to get in and out of. Would hope to progress it to a Flight sim in the future but that depends on funds and know how.
Cheers

How much of the airframe do you want ? I have one that I stripped after a crash

Mainly the cockpit, skids, glass and controls but its a project so whatever is available might be all we can get. Do you have any photos? PM me if so.
Cheers
