"5 YEARS LEFT UNTIL OVERHAUL"

Yes that sounds good. But it has only got 15 hrs left until overhaul !!!!!!!

Its done 2185 TSO (12 YEARS or 2200 hrs)

:ok:

So - add £140,000 to the price and you've got enough for a good used RII....

That is the guys from Startrade Heli. Technically he is correct as long as you only plan to fly a few hours in those 5 years. While those guys offer some good prices you really need to read the advertisements carefully and with a great deal of skepticism.

Ah, the time life components. Would they include the blades? No sign of hydraulic upgrade so what with hydraulics and numerous other upgrades to take the new blades this might not be the bargain of the century.....
