cainchapman 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Awesome planes. Saw 16 of them flying in formation at Duxford for a Spitfire anniversary. Actually 10 years ago, so they must be due a new one. Gus are you still up there? Just off the A14 (or A10) off memory. Great museum. Good luck with the sale. That should buy a ferry or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2008 I'd suspect it's a wild stab in the dark. It would be on the light side if it were in US dollars. I would expect. Never having tested or considered buying one. I'd be equally ignorant of the real value. All I know is that they are awesome to see in the air. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 You can buy new ones for about 2m (pounds), but they dont have the big ol merlin in them... so yes, it was a stab in the dark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
