Interesting thread. I remember when I was a lad any number of DC-3 s were advertised in the back of Flight every week for about £12 K and since that day I have always wanted to get my hands on one.
No doubt I fall into the category of the rest of the posters here "...If somebody else wants to put together a deal count me in but I'm too busy/sensible/strapped for cash, to do it myself".
Now if there is somebody with masochistic tendencies out there ..... I can be at N Weald or Duxford in about 40 minutes from Fairoaks.
I'll keep an interested (but not altogether optimistic) eye out ....
