Would I be alone in guessing that they probably sold for half their value.
I really do believe someone must have picked up some bargains today.
It will be interesting to see the results.
Would TOT fetch much more than $60,000 as it is ?

I have plenty of happy hours in SKJ & SKW when they were Skytrans; BUY was originally Vic Polair IIRC, then bought by Qld Ambulance for the Bundy base (ergo 'BUY'), went to RFDSQLD as a spare when they took over the air ambulance gig before being sold to a Darwin operator. These were 3 of the nicest, best equipped 404s in Aus, sad to see them ending up like this.

OpsN.
You can still see the Skytrans logos on the side of the fuselage on SZA and SKV 
Scone *cough* I am led to believe.

$660 For the Conquest was right where I pegged it. Hopefully its a good buy for someone. At a glance it seemed so anyway. WRD if it's as Aussie Nick says would have been another good one to pick up under the right circumstances.

Bargains!
Wow $1000 for a 310! Even a complete wreck would have to be worth more than that, just an intact panel, cowl or even a seat or piece if interior trim would have to come close.

I have fond and sentimental,memories of aircraft I have flown over the last 35 years but things move on and many of my previous steeds have gone to the crusher.
Most of those junk aircraft should have gone straight down to Sims Metals. When will the GA industry start to re equip with newer aircraft?
It is very hard to charter even a decent 20 year old turboprop in WA or NT (we have a 25 year age limit). All I can find is single pilot GA 35 year old aircraft. I am sorry, they are not much better than scrap. There is work in the NW for decent turbine aircraft properly operated with 2 pilots by a credible operator who can pass an audit.

@lostwingnut: HEC was the fuselage shell only, no wings, tail plane, don't even think it had anything inside by way of interior or avionics either. The shell had been sitting on that airport back when I started my PPL in 05

I have heard Chartair picked up all the C400s... anyone care to confirm?
Had SKW and SKJ received any TLC post-Westwing?
