Virgin Hems have had theirs up for sale for a while now....:rolleyes:

jayteeto 3rd Oct 2005 19:38

MightyGem, you bad boy, winding up the 902 people!! Again!!
Its not the virgin one, it is black and yellow...........

MightyGem 3rd Oct 2005 20:03

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!! :E

jayteeto: you've obviously not had a problem posting then.

What Limits 3rd Oct 2005 20:11

Whats the detail, I might be interested in buying it.

quichemech 3rd Oct 2005 20:31

Being quite serious, where is it advertised?

md 600 driver 4th Oct 2005 08:55

300.000 who is selling that one is some one out of their minds you could get that for the donkeys and gearbox

can you post the seller or send pm

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.

Virgin HEMS for sale 2004: £1.2 million

Virgin HEMS for sale 2005: £300,000.


Still no takers.........................

MightyGem 4th Oct 2005 13:01

It's not Virgins. To prevent possible embarresment, I shall refrain from naming. However, one of the pilots is a keen pprunner, so I'm sure he'll post eventually.

handysnaks 4th Oct 2005 14:29

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!! :eek:

Is the Unit the opposite of East...mids?

MightyGem 4th Oct 2005 16:46

I would have thought handysnaks would know. ;)

handysnaks 4th Oct 2005 17:36

I presume you like omlette?:p

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 :rolleyes: So md 600 has a point. :ok:

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:E

Apparently there's an Explorer for sale in the UK...
Is this the one?

http://www.geocities.com/pprunessils...ornsmodel.jpeg

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 !

:confused:

Silsoe,
Is that the varmit who likes hovering over my Oxfordshire home at 2 in the morning?

Si

What Limits 5th Oct 2005 07:16

No, that's more likely to be the impossibly noisy EC135.

Thomas coupling 5th Oct 2005 09:41

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:ok:

SilsoeSid 5th Oct 2005 19:55

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!
