Written off. It's not going to be economical to repair an aircraft with such a low value, and others can hopefully benefit from the parts.
Now the hunt starts for another aeroplane.....

Written off but incurring huge storage bills at a Yellow Box in Norfolk.
Ed's bill to date
-------------------
Positioning costs
Ten pound landing fee
Hangarage for 2 months
Taxi costs from Diss railway station
B&B for owner
Recovery from crash site
Dismantling into component bits 6 manhours
Storage
I'll soon be able to retire at this rate!

Careful Stik!
Without wings, tail and engine, the VP1 is a perfect shaped box to, errrrm, well .... ? Lets say that if the bill gets to high, TKF might recoupe his costs by selling it to you as a future investment, or .... put you in it prematurely

tKf - not heard a thing, dear boy!
tKf - totally wrong about LadyDoc - wrong genus!
sn - Latvian triplets, that would be "incestuous", where did you think Ed found them!

Bad luck Ed. There's a VP2 in January's PFA mag for 3,750 including a spare engine. There's also a Rand KR2 single seater, no sensible offer refused plus a Minimax 91 for 4k. If you can strech to it there's also a Jodel D9 for 6,550 ono.
Good hunting.

The thread/VP1 that wouldn't die
Well folks, it's been a long time coming............ the Veep has gone, not far short of two years since Ed's epic "once in a lifetime flight"!
I shed a tear................
then the car started...............and I started to smile
then I let out a huge cheer and opened some bubbly as the bl00dy thing trundled down the drive
You have no idea how much space a dismantled aircraft can take up in a 60'x80' barn.
The funny thing is that the trailer was as ricketty as the aircraft, ho hum - I'd not want to tow either!
The End
