Scarybatics
Chap(ette)s,
I was blathering on to a chum of mine who has recently retired from being a Nigel and he seems to have got it into his head that it would be a good idea to purchase something to scare himself silly doing all those silly aerobatic type things.
Anyway, he wants to acquire something like a Pitts S2 or Slingsby or Cap 10B. Now, does anyone anywhere know of anything like this for sale as it would be nice to have a friend who owns such a beast of a machine.

Try www.aerobatics.org.uk . Look at the adverts, under 'communications'. The Fireflies were all sold, mostly back to Babcock, but they really are excellent aerobatic trainers, if a little slow in roll. If money is no object probably an Extra 300 is les ballons du chien.

Slingsby T67M260
I got one for sale, with air conditioning - very low time let me know if he is interested.
I like it becuase you get to see when your friend sat next to you is a lighter shade of green, although not cleared for tail slides or inverted spinning but I can do most other things.

There was a guy at Manston selling some Fireflies recently including a 260 which I flew last year - very nice plane. I don't have the contact details but there were ads in Pilot or Flyer so check out the last couple of issues.
I got an T67M200 in the end. Also very nice plane and easier on the fuel bills. Makes a reasonable tourer too.

Unfortunately money is a BIG barrier for a 19 year old student.....
I really want a share in a firefly, buying is seriously out of the question unless i win the lottery.
Anyone know of any shares in SE England going....?

Slingsby T67 A share at White Waltham
Hi
I know of a Slingsby T67 A in the SE.
It's based at White Waltham and there are a couple of shares available for about £3,000 I think.
When I was in the syndicate they ran it at £40 per month and £55 per hour - not bad.
The "A" is one of the early wood models with a small engine and no inverted engine systems.
However, it is still very nice to fly and nice to chuck about.
It's currently having its 3 year CofA, so when it comes back it'l; be a good time to buy
cheers

ps I now have a Pitts S1S on a permit, performance bargain like no other.
