F1A 17,000My pension does not run to the expense of this.
The aeroplane had new magnetos, new ignition harnesses, a re-chromed nose leg, and a new battery last year.
It also had new rudder cables which have to be replaced again this year.

For the new owner this is a well sorted aeroplane.

Engine: O-200 A with around 1,100 hours on it,
Airframe: around 9,000. This was a popular training aeroplane, and it still is popular with the pilots who fly it.
Based at Popham in a hangar at 160/month, it is very economical to operate.
Selling with a fresh NARC, this aeroplane can tour Europe without any hassle, and it can fly at night.
But if you prefer an LAA permit this should be possible too.

I put my heart into this aeroplane, and am sad to see it go.
I have a person interested in buying a share, but not with poor me. He loves this aeroplane too.
