Wow, I've never seen a Harrier for sale before. I'm glad my OH and boys are away and can't see it, they would immediately be setting up a "Harrier fund" to save up!
T.
Had it been a bit cheaper I would have had it as it isn't far away from me and I could have towed it behind my Daewoo Matiz into my back yard ;D
oooooo, would sort out my commuting issues - wonder whether it would qualify as a second car under the parking permit application ???
Would it fall under the congestion charge?
it would fall, for sure
no engines, see? ;)
note the site says ' no postage'......
Expensive paperweight lol
Bidding is up to £21,300.00 now and 8 days to go.
Glad to see that my old squadron - No1 - aren't selling theirs off yet, Roy!
Being 'Navy', maybe it got a bit rusty??
it's the most expensive plant container i've ever seen, any super rich plot holders out there want a feature with a difference?
£250000, at 9-09 Roy, wonderfull if you are a collecter of such things.
;D Mary, be very careful where you put your decimal point when you are writing cheques :o ;D
Tim I would hope any surviving planes from then would be in war museums up and down our country and treated with tender loving care ;)
Agree Roy, find this thing really rather sad....CLx
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! just read my post Roy :o :o i bet they wish i was bidding for the Jump jet Hehehehe!!! cheered me up anyway so i shant edit should make more peeps smile.
From then, Roy??
No1 are still the premier squadron, operating Harriers out of Cottesmore. Not in the museums, or e-bay yet!!

Oops! I praps put too much emphasis on the word
old :-[
Want one!
Grew up in a low fly training zone and always promised myself I would buy a jet when I go my driving licence ;D
Now, has anyone surfed e-bay for a couple of Rolls Royce Jet Engines ( work get sniffy about us looking at e-bay). I have a set of spanners & I'm sure I could fit a couple of engines over the weekend
;D But where will you get the weapons ??? you'll need em just in case your neighbours complain about the noise. ;D
Offer a big enough cheque, they'll sell them to anyone. Just tell they your neighbours are terrorists.
Well I reckon the fuel will cost more than the arms ...
But at least I will compete with the b***** sparras when it comes to decibels and annoyance factor.
Well, I won't be bidding on it, will not accept Paypal! ;D ;D
Can you believe there have been 77 bids? That's more people than I had bid on my Chinese Chime Balls!?!?! Can those people really be serious about buying a jump jet - where would it live?!?!?!

2 engines at £9500 a piece, plus P&P ;D
I seem to remember that Jeremy Clarkson had one of these in his garden as a sort of ornament! ???
:o Have you seen the latest bid :o Any bets on the selling price :o
Roy the bid 2 mins ago 22-55 was, £200,300,00, Wow
Well it has finished, and someone pipped me to the post!
£65,512.34 :o :o :o :o
Gonna keep my eye out for one at a car boot sale to put on e-Bay! ;D ;)
:o Hey DP is you Jet smaller than Mary's Jet? as Mary's decimal point has slipped of the page again ;D Tee hee ;D

;D Mary ;D the best glasses I have found are filled with red wine ;D
On local news last night that some bloke up in the Lake District has just bought a Lightning Jet, and had it put in his back garden. If I did that I'd have to knock the house down to get it in!
Good excuse not to weed though.
Roy , you are so right Hahahaha!!!.
