Turbo prop a/c

[ptmorries]

Wonder if anyone out there knows where I can buy a complete aircraft to use as a training aircraft at city of bristol college it would be ground use only not a flyer. (pref a twin engine)

Shouldn't be hard to find - a twin with life-expired engines shouldn't cost you too much either, although a life-ex piston prop would be cheaper and easier to obtain. Life expired old military engines are easily bought for under £10k which you could then put on a stand.

My favourite website for aeroplane window shopping is here: Planes and Aircraft For Sale - Light Aircraft, Autogyros, Helicopters ... (UK) although for a twin, which are more rare, you might want to ask around some maintenance companies and see if anybody knows of anything.

You might also look at MoD disposals - you might be able to get a life expired military aircraft quite cheaply. Nothing there at the moment, but worth keeping an eye on. http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehi...elicopters.htm

And, believe it or not, eBay. It's amazing what comes up there!...

There's a dealer near/in Ipswich whose name I forget who disposes of MoD non-flyers, including, when I last looked some time ago, some Jetstreams, Hawker twinjets etc. I'm sure someone will come up with the name, I'm having a senior moment.

CoB still in business then?

Edit; senior moment passed; it's Everett, and here's a link

The dominies were being sold if a jet is wanted, I believe two flew the Hull for the new BA college, they were originally bought as possible flyers.
