Beware

Be careful if buying a scrap aircraft as some of the larger ones have blocks of depleted uranium fitted as balancing tabs. These are extremely expensive to dispose of legally and you may be liable to pay for them to be stored for an infinite time in an approved storage. In fact you may never lose title to them if they come into your ownership as no-one wants to own them. So do look any gift horse carefully in the mouth.
