I wonder what "civiclian spec" means?

[kowalski655]

Presumably all the weapon-y bits removed

[LotusOmega375D]

Maybe it means ideal for elderly people, who only want to fly at 40mph, but do appreciate excellent reliability.

Sat nav, DAB, cruise control and air con?

[Eric Mc]

Perhaps the aircraft are all now well mannered and polite?

I have heard of "civilian spec".

I'll take the Bucc, and make sure she has a full tank of gas

Maintained by the South African equivalent of Kwik-Fit.

Yep, that will last me about 10 minutes with my heavy right foot

[Mr_B]

What do Lightnings sell for ? I guess an airworthy one hasn't sold for a long time ? Any idea of what most of the statics sell for ?

You planning on flying round in circles then?

IIRC the statics that were sold on Binbrooks closure (1988/89) were around the £5k mark. Roy Flood (Castle Air) bought two for his back garden!

Can I have the F6 with a couple of dummy redtops in a bare metal finish please?

[eharding]

I'd take the Hunter, but as a result of the Christmas / New Year over-consumption of pies, I don't think I could take the jeering from the mates at the flying club.

"Blimey! look - Bunter in a Hunter"

That and the fact the pilot's notes indicate 19lb of fuel per nm flat out on the deck.

Want want want.
