old beeches

[Mr Milk]

Did anyone snap up a bargain at the auctions on friday? shame to see VH-FIE in a state like that.....same for the old queenair.

[Ex FSO GRIFFO]

From the ad., VH-FIE was for sale by Tender......

If only those 6 numbers had come in....
:ok:

p.s. Tenders close at 10am in the morning....if ya quick..!! (Mon 23rd)

Harsh but them IOSC can turn their innards into a thin but savoury broth quicktime.
Would be better to use frames now filled with cement and used as a boat mooring

[Mr Milk]

Come now tinny you dont mean that....some true Australian heritage right there:8

Anyone know anything?

[Ejector]

Do you have a link Sir?

[dude65]

The Beech and the Queenair both sold. Can't tell you the price.

[sms777]

Come on dude......tell us the price son! ;)

[sms777]

Does any one know the callsign of the Queenair? I have about ten different ones in my logbook.

[Mr Milk]

It was VH-XAT an Excalibur conversion. Awesome aeroplane.... But the wings are due to clap hands next flight according to CASA. So we banish another one from our shores....:mad:

[sms777]

Thanks Mr Milk, I have not flown that one.
As a matter of interest.....Australia was the only country in the world that imposed spar life on the Queenairs. The life limit depended on engine size.
I never heard of one crashing anywhere in the world due to spar failure.

I believe CASA has finally lifted it recently :ok:

[dude65]

It's not that I won't tell you the price 777, it's that I can't.

They did both sell though

[CHAIRMAN]

Someone here must know. I like to keep track of old aircraft current pricing:hmm:
