Geez, I never even thought of doing a search for military aircraft on ebay. Wonder what the shipping costs were?

I wonder if his wife is pleased? “snicker”

From the way the article is written, it sounds almost like an offhand, spur of the moment purchase by an inexperienced buyer.

Good for him though; he’s keeping a bit of British history alive and making a magnificent pro-military statement.

And now he knows....yes, when you enter a bid at eBay it really does mean that you’re entering into a buyer’s contract and when you win, you really will get the item :-)

All sorts of fun stuff comes up for sale there....I recall a WW2 vintage aircraft carrier up for sale once as well as lots of other big, fun military stuff. All you need is money and a place to put it :-)

Very cool, but he needs to lose the blue tape around it, and have it properly guarded by a phalanx of garden gnomes.

Talk about a dumb waste of money.

I guess if I had the $$ to toss around, I would go for a later version of the Mig-21’s that are/were out on the market. I read up a lot on the development history of the airplane, and it was designed so a 19 year old could fly one fairly quickly.

No that does not mean he was trained enough to survive his first 5 dogfights.

There was some M60 tank searchlight/targeting spotlights on Ebay last year I was bidding on, I know of some people that have bought them, they are like a smaller compact version of Klieg lights used at special events.
