Guv'nor you're talking complete bollox. If there has been the alledged 'huge surge in interest' how come nobody has bought one of the 50 bargain and easily reactivated L1011s you have being bulls......g about?

Truth is they are all beyong the grave now. Uneconomic to fly. Uneconomic to return to service.

Values were in the toilet pre September 11. Now they have sunk to scrap only. If you are being offered a L1011 for one million dollars I have to assume that the airline concerned has rather big windows in their office building.

Because they can sure see you coming!

I know where you can buy several tristars with engines and spare parts for less than half that figure.

And still no one is interested.

Quit trying to make the market Guv'nor and get a life.
