For under £270k you could have your very own squadron of 9 potentially airworthy Jet provosts!

I like the postage cost...... £1200.00!!!!!

Lets hope that seller doesnt use Yodel as they will get lost in a storage depot somewhere in England. Maybe.

I think those tachos were cable driven, like a cable driven speedo, not electric cable.
