A friend of mine and I are quite interested in buying something like an old Cessna 140 taildragger. A very rare aircraft in the UK. There are some beauties for sale in the States and I was wondering:-
How much does it cost to get one brought over to the UK in a crate? Is CAA registration and inspection expensive? Surely you don't pay VAT on 60 year old aircraft? Is it a bonkers idea buying such an aircraft, bearing in mind it's age?
Many thanks for any thoughts
