Anyone fancy some old Albanian Migs? Not sure how much these fetch nowadays.

I hope that some wealthy enthusiasts buy at least some of these old dears before they end up being scrapped.
Yeah, it would cost a good few bucks to make them airworthy, but I'd bet that they'll go cheap enough that you could buy three to build one.
One of these would also make a fine lawn ornament, and not that costly at scrap value.
Of course, there'd also be transport cost and the costs of the divorce.

I can just imagine what a wonderful reception you would get if you walked into the CAA at Gatwick and told them that you had just bought an Albanian MIG-17 which you intended to return to the skies!
