Sorry about the split post, but I kept getting "Network Access
Denied" web pages at work, when trying to post anything more than a
dozen letters or so. That first post took me three edits! Then I gave
up.
Anyway, to continue. Apparently the asking price is a paltry
£300,000, and no-one's offered to buy. You get less depreciation on a
Ford Fiesta!!
jayteeto: you've obviously not had a problem posting then.

Unfortunately £300,000 is the price Eurocopter are offering as a trade-in price against a new EC135 or EC145.
MD600 The donkeys are usually leased from Pratt & Whitney so they could not be sold on as spares.

Well if as you say, one of the pilots is a keen ppruner, you could either pm him or her to find out if there is any truth in the rumour.
Or show us the ad!!

A huge portion of Egg Fu Yeung coming your way MG.
If you contact Lincs and Notts AA or Virgin HEMS they will be able to sell you a new yellow or red 902.
If you really want a blue/yellow one, contact the unit you may be thinking of and for a small donation to the Acorn Childrens Hospice Trust they will certainly provide you with one similar to the pics above. The price, minimum donation = £10.
As far as I'm aware, these are the only other 902s for sale and looking out the window, there aint no sticker in the windscreen!!

902jon
Eagle plan is not the same as a turbomeca PBH. On a 902 the operator does generally own the engines and pays the eagle plan as a overhaul/repair type of cover. Or should I say that is the way I understand it
So md 600 has a point. 
2 x 206. MGB.5 blades, MR head, Notar hub, Detent module, collective friction unit, that's just a start! You should make a profit! But then again Macs would would have worked that out

Apparently there's an Explorer for sale in the UK...
It would be in better detail, but I think this might identify which aircraft I think you think is being thought about being sold......which it isn't, I think !

What Limits....you're right. It is now confirmed that the 902 is the class leader for minimum noise....................................................... ..................because there aren't any flying any more

I don't know which little birdie you are listening to TC, but I seem to be doing quite a lot of 5 flying hr night duties at the moment........and as for the locals, no complaints..( Apart of course from the bad'uns )...unlike the one from Simon853 which was a 135 anyway !!!!
We did have a phone call from a concerned citizen the other day, saying the aircraft had just flown overhead and sounding 'funny' making unusual noises. As it turned out it was our neighbours 135 on it's way back from somewhere else!
There seems to be quite a few 135s for sale around Europe, why is that?

p.s. Did you know that all male tennis players are witches?
For example, Goran, even he's a witch!
