I noticed that MMF was recently purchased at auction, does anyone know if this is going to join the other airframes at Larras Lee?
DC3QLD.
This is staying at YSBK, the new owners are going to put it back in the air. After massive restoration work over the last ten years, it has to be one of the best airframe in the country, with a "new" centre section and including new paint.
Nick took a real cold bath on this one, the total at the auction, for a complete aeroplane, less engines, but including two zero time props., was about $50,000.
Two complete overhauled engines will be about US$90,000 for R-1830-94's.
Tootle pip!!
