Nick Johns 23 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Do hope someone gives this this poor old aircraft a safe home, it was sold when the military museum closed at Beverley, now its being evicted from Fort Paul https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/gilbert-baitson/catalogue-id-ibgi10619/lot-de133d6c-3cbe-44b4-bf34-ac0600cb36d7?fbclid=IwAR1IBJMxA68E2uCDChytitzPvjbTtrHwBkdQ0yOSL1dA7q3_8bQ7V6OXNGg Edited August 26, 2020 by Nick Johns 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rootes75 18 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Yes, we saw that but the lots we like would be expensive to send. We did wonder about a grouo of us getting together and taking a van up there if we won multiple lots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rootes75 18 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Is this a good thing or bad thing? Positive its been saved from scrap but an AirBnB? I suppose as he says the costs to restore and maintain aren't commercially viable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wally dugan 39 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 the idea of selling rivets for a pound each has been done before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rootes75 18 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 So do I get this right, crowdfund in order to raise £100k so he can move it, refurb it and then make money from hiring it out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mtskull 11 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 In an ideal world the aircraft would be fully restored and preserved as original but at least this way it will continue to exist and, as long as it exists then restoration to original remains a possibility, should a future generation appreciate such things.
