Dave, we need to get the co-operative up and running as I need to get some tubing done and get a windscreen sorted.

Tony

: I have to say that I don't really agree that it was worth
: ?4400!!! There was only one spar (rear) half the brackets
: were not original but made out of wood and the tubing was
: mainly car exhaust pipe!!! They even took the reflector
: gunsight out for the auction!!! There was not a full set
: of instruments and the cockpit had been built too long (Ba
: rry was given a measurement as the starting point which wa
: s later found to be wrong).

: A more realistic price was ?2000.....I have not nearly spe
: nt that much and I have already found a cheap supplier of
: tubes and have most of the brackets required for start!!
