Enstrom 280 shark wanted

Hi I'm looking for an Ensrom 280 shark. Really not bothered about condition/age as I want to strip and rebuild it ideally. Anyone know of one at the back of a hangar gathering dust or part dissassembled or parts timed out etc, I'm sure you get the picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated and not really wanting the "why an enstrom etc". Thanks.

A couple of years ago i saw what amounted to an enstrom fuselage in flybpl.coms hangar in blackpool. No idea how much needs doing to it but dennisimo is the man to ask!!

If you are looking for a rebuild in the UK, then start with the CAA's G-INFO page (F280s are here) and just look for ones with an expired ticket. 8 out of 26 fall into that category right now.

What about this?

HELICOPTER TRAINING SCHOOL - MANCHESTER | Other Services Businesses for Sale in Lancashire UK

Norman / Bill might sell you the machine alone?

You could buy the entire flight school and the helicopter all in??

Thanks for all the advice so far but no one has came up with a hangar queen yet!

Valve guide........nor are you likely to,certainly not in Europe.The shark remains a popular machine with spares readily available.why would anyone leave one to gather dust?

Heli1 there are 8 that are still registered in the UK that have no c of a. So thats 8! Just had no reply from the registered addresses on making an enquiry thus the request here. If you look previously in this small thread you will have seen that helihub has noted this also. Thanks for your input.
