Where's the best place to advertise an aircraft for sale?

Is Pilot mag still "the" place to advertise a light aircraft or are there better places now? Somewhere on the web, a broker, trade-a-plane, ???

Where would you look if you wanted a relatively low hours and well-equipped Bulldog?

I usually look in the pilto mag. The big ads always catch my eye and also make sure you do give a good picture.

My last ad in pilot was a disaster.
First they put the wrong phone number down...second they apologised and did it AGAIN!
So 3 months later I eventually got a working ad in their rag!!!!
Try elsewhere...

I would not think for a moment that advertising in any one UK mag is a good idea.

The most you will do is reach approx 1/4 of the people that actually read the UK flying mags, and a lot of pilots almost never read them.

The free mags might get about more. GA Europe is one which I see lying around everywhere aviation-wise I go. It's also significantly European which expands the audience. For a higher value machine, I would also try the major US websites, this one being just one.

have a look at some of the UK based websites such as thehangar.co.uk, ukga.com, afors. you can upload pictures, and some a/c actually seem to sell!

AFORS is a great resource for selling aircraft - I have sold three on there over the last few years at Prices of £7,500, £15,000 + £40,000.

Oh and its FREE so there is absolutely no reason not to give it a go

I'd be interested if I could get other people interested in sharing it.

Any takers???

I'd probably ask on the Private Flying Forum on PPRuNe, but not make it look like an advert

It's ingenius, fair play. One taker already
Yeah but did you notice that it had been moderated? even so it's still getting an effective airing.

Thanks for the suggestions, I wasn't aware of several of them.

... and as for the assertions of cunning and subterfuge what can I say
