Hi Everyone. A last minute change of plans from the Speke aerodrome hotel so VP955 now won’t be going there!
I’ve decided to sell the aircraft on as I can’t secure a local home to me to further the restoration works so needs to move away.
Should anyone be interested In taking 955 on as a project or a museum wanting a static aircraft please get in touch with me.
As it is you’ve all seen what’s been done and how good she looks now she doesn’t need that much to finish her off. Some spares are needed to complete her for exhibit and are as follows.
2x inner flaps ( very easy to make)
2x Ailerons (very easy to make)
Port side wing to fuselage aft fillet ( easy to make)
2x engine upper oil tank cowlings
1x lower aft engine/wing exhaust cowling.
Stbd aft wing tip ( very easy to make)
I’m looking at selling the aircraft as a static for
£7000 and that will have 2x upper engine blocks in engine bearers with prop hub, props and spinners so it will look like it’s got its engines fitted or
For £10,000 A compressive spares package including 2 engines with further better props and a huge amount of spares I’ve sourced over the past few years. This has the potential to be worked and the aircraft made into a ground runner but needs a lot more time spent and some parts sourcing.
Anyway it’s time for her to move on and find her forever home. I’ve had great fun rescuing this aircraft from the Scrapman but I’ve done all I can for now. 👍
Many thanks Steve.
