Author Topic: Sale of Ex-military aircraft... (Read 843 times)

Hi all
I see from this month's "Pilot" that two Alouette 111s, manufactured in Romania, have been sold to the UK and registered.Clearly, there is some kind of demand for them.I wonder if they will be operated on permits or C of As.I don't know if they are ex-military but it's probable that they are.Maybe a CAA surveyor should be sent to the Dept of Defence to assure them that the potential sale of the Don Alouettes is not witchcraft or warmongering, but merely trade.Incidentally, I heard a story that the Marchettis are not going to be put up for sale because there is allegedly, a problem with certifying the altered instrument panel.Personnally, I think that just a load of horse-poo and is just being used as an excuse to keep a civil servant from having to put his name to the sale.
regards
GttC 'pilot_rolleyes'

i suppose they will probably come out with the same sort of cr@p when they tell us they cant sell the Dauphins and Gazelle because they are capable of delivering nuclear warheads! 'pilot_angry'

this government always wastes anything they can potentially make some use out off!so what now for the marchettis!??scrapped, loaned to third level colleges?

Christ almighty, this is nonsense - there is a demand for Marchetti's, if there was a problem any end user would merely modify the instrument panel to suit their own needs. This kind of thing really and truely pisses me off.

Actually Fouga, fancy swapping the Islanders for Marchetti's 'thumbsup'

Fouga 23,
Do you have any info on the Islanders for sale or do you know where I can get it. That might have been a post in just the right time and the right place!
