I am a bit concerned about the Bidder. I reckon he is a spotty youth who has bid on it after a wet dream. Look at the items he has bid on here . For the non ebayers amongst you, click on the item number in blue on the extreme right hand side. These are the items the bidder has bought or sold in the past. I bet he won't come through with the money.
Although he did sell this, amybe he was saving for the Vulcan?
And sold this-
"Original item, recovered from former RAF Banff dump. Yoke stuck in position shown."
Lots of star wars, comics and Status quo memorabilia, makes me suspicous.

You'd need the Merc. Vulcans haven't been allowed in the London Control Zone since Princess Margaret's wedding. ANO Article 608, para 423, (a) XVII (z), sub-section D(iii) refers...

this is actually quite a historic aircraft, as it was one of the standby a/c for Black Buck. If a certain ME QFI would send me my book back which he got Dave Thomas to sign eons ago, I would be able to tell you the whole story. It was originally bought (as were a few) with the intention to fly it on a civilian aegis. I believe the engines were removed, so they must have been lying around in the salty Blackpool air for some time.
Bloody scandalous demise of an airframe if you ask me. Interestingly enough, I don't think he paid much more than 6K for it originally!

The cost of transporting this mighty beast is going to be prohibitive. I do hate seeing them like this. Hope she's not too far gone already.
Edit:
Oh No! It looks like the current bidder (£10,300) is some kind of IT/Electronics nerd... I forsee a lot of scrap metal with only the cockpit section remaining.

The bidding has gone hectic today.
22 bids and it up to £15,600, it looks as though a few people have big back gardens.
Someone did retact their bid though, he gave the reason that the seller changed the Description.
The seller did change the description, he said that it would not fly
