T67/Chipmunk
 

Finally given up the hunt for my T67 share within reasonable distance of the East Midlands – anyone know of any available Chipmunk shares please? (Hope this search doesn’t take another year!)

CoJoe,

I don't know of any Chipmunk shares currently available in that area, and may indeed be interested myself if there were any. In the longer term I have heard that Northants School of Flying, at Sywell, is considering a Chipmunk rebuild over next winter, with the intention of seeing what commercial demand they can get for it, or selling it / syndicating it out if sufficient demand does not materialise. Nothing solid, but...

Is Yorkshire too far for a T67 share? There are a couple at Breighton/Sherburn and I seem to remember seeing shares advertised.

Many thanks - will continue with the hunt and have a peep at Sherburn.
Don't suppose you can blag me a share in one of your 260's DB6??!!

There is one in Liverpool. I don't know who owns it though. Have a search for flight schools at the airfield there just to see if one of them own it. If not, it must be owned by a group/individual. Also one down here at Shoreham. Good luck. :)

Chipmunk
 

If Seething (Norfolk) isn't too far from your East Midlands location there is a share in a Chipmunk avail there. Happy to take you for a ride in it if you are interested. Pictured in formation in current edition of Pilot (£1,000 worth of flying competition).

There's a T67 share for sale at White Waltham, sorry can't recall the details but it's on the noticeboard.

Is the Shoreham one still available for hire and tailwheel conversions through the Southern Flight Centre?

CoJoe, don't know about shares but I reckon there will be a whole bunch for sale about July next year if the JEFTS closure goes ahead, which looks likely. They are leased from the Bank of Scotland, so you might even get a loan to buy one, har, har!:D

Foghorn. I am not sure to be honest. I think it is as i remember an ad a while ago. I am going over there later today so i will go and see them and ask about it for you. :)
