Comments: When the IAC offered the T9's for auction decided to bid for one. We drove from Belfast one weekend, and turned up un-announced. The Duty Officer was very helpful. He took us through several hangers before we found them. You can see 162 in the background. 161 was on a stand further to the left, and more dismantled. 163 was not airworthy - problem with the radiator.
