Hmm, OK.

Well, it's close to 10,000hrs TT. It has the Hartzell recurring AD props that need inspection every 500hrs, if it's not the older hubs which need it every 250hrs. The spar needs Eddy current inspection every 500hrs after 6000hrs unless it's been modified. The engines have 1400hr TBO - do you know how much time they have on them? In any case, after sitting for 5 years they'll need at least a top overhaul and maybe some cams. How are the fuel cells etc?

As she sits now, condition on having closer inspection, I would offer £10K today.

Also, someone mentioned that his mechanic also died a few years ago. But maybe the organization he worked for still exists? There must be someone there one could get some info from. Do you know serviced the Commander?
