Flyboy583 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I found these two on Ebay this morning..

Flyboy583 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Yhea... I though it was cheap... at that price I will have two..... !! Postage "economy delivery" £1500 ! :D Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 14, 2012 2. Administrators Posted March 14, 2012 I heard rumours about these coming up for sale but didn't now they were going on ebay. At the end of the day though, I'd probably be more inclined to look at a Hunter or Vampire front end, not one of these multinational thingies. Quote
DD_Brando Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I could get my cousin over to show me how to 'fly' it He's on the left - with hair Like an exchange visit - on the right - with chair Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted March 14, 2012 2. Administrators Posted March 14, 2012 Tbh, i keep wondering if they'd notice up at Manston if i 'liberated' the spitfire from the museum to make a simpit...... Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 14, 2012 2. Administrators Posted March 14, 2012 Dunno m8, mind you Tom and I will be in the area next week if you need a hand... --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?qez1ot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Flyboy583 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 Count me in if you need a hand stea... er liberating the spit!! Dont tell me you got a flip in the tornado... ?? If so you lucky f@*$er! I could get my cousin over to show me how to 'fly' it He's on the left - with hair Like an exchange visit - on the right - with chair Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted March 14, 2012 2. Administrators Posted March 14, 2012 Thinking about it seriously, its just a pipe dream. They'd notice the spitfire missing for sure. Now the Hurricane though........ Quote
Flyboy583 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Posted March 14, 2012 In my opinion you will be doing the aviation community a big favor.. These aircraft should be flying (A sim pit is a sort of flying and that is enough for me!) Quote
T_O_A_D Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I for one would personally place you on the rack before all and gutt you right then an there, for turning any of the assembled WW2 crates into a simpit. But if we could find one that was apart from the rest of the machine then yes I would be game on converting it into a simpit. These Jets well their for Nancy's anyway. Quote

But he hung up his wings after Desert Storm and now he's a long-haul skipper for BA - so I might get that flip one day. Oz sounds worth a look Quote
