Take a look at the sellers other items! Who the hell needs an ex military munitions assemble conveyor in the uk ?!

[normalbloke]

Yeah, just been for a peruse through his shop, a real odd mix of bits and bobs.

I`d like to know what the offers on it were that have been declined. £750k seems alot considering the training you`d need aswell.

It has the "Make and Offer and Buy it for Less" option.

So I've offered a ton. If I get lucky I'll let you all come round and play on it.

£750K? I'd give them 10 max and yes I do know about aircraft sims.

It isn't licenced and there is no Lynx in civvy service. It just has no use other than as a toy and no-one is going to spend 750K when you can buy a real helicopter for a tenth of that.

Of course it could be a trap, and he accepts the ton and you are then legally bound to disassemble and transport it away from him at great cost, pending the £500 a day storage charge.

Let us know

I like the the return policy

"If you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase, please return item and receive a full refund within 7 days of when you receive the item."

[SS HSV]

So if you were mad enough to 'Buy It Now' using Praypal, exactly how much would they get for one auction

[gazza_3]

I think I might have to clear out the back-room .

Cool shop! Could easily spend a few quid in there. Scanning electron microscope! Satellite phone, command cabin.

You could start a revolution with that lot

And what sort of "real" helicopter are we talking about?(please don't make the mistake of using real and Robinson in the same sentence..)

[Rotary Madness]

Hmm so if we all got 750k together, buy it, have a huge ph meetup where we all get to have a go, then return it for a full refund, we're out what? the cost of powering it and moving it around. Id say thatd be worth a laugh alone

As for his other items, if the time comes for a revolution, he looks like a good place to stop for suplies

[Orb the Impaler]

I like the look of those command post cabins - stick one behind the garage; make an ideal workshop.

Easy, how about an Enstrom 280 for £60K.

I don't agree about Robbies being hooky, I've a couple of hundred hours in R22's and 44's and have never had a problem. They are fine if you don't fly like a tw*t or decide that going IMC in a machine that isn't certified for it is a good idea. Obviously I prefer bigger heli's, but I'd rather fly a hydraulic 44 compared to a 206 any day of the week.
