Do you think it would put my raptor over 20 kilos???? :svengo::svengo:

Why would anyone want to buy that! lol

[tiddler]

Would make a good space heater for your local flying field :)

[pgkevet]

It'd make a great hotrod if you strapped that on the back of a flatbed...and if anyone tailgates ya .....

I would have but they only have 1, and I need a pair.

Folks will buy anything these days. A guy I know has (in his commercial garage), 2 jet turbine engines. One from a Czech jet ( Delfin ), and also the turbine engine from a Scout Heli, both mounted on frames, with all the running gear to power them up............and he does occasionally !!

And if that's not enough, he's bought a de-comissioned Harrier jump jet, which is sitting at the edge of his heli pad. Rather big and imposing
:cheers2:

Or for 10 million, you could have this....

My dad was the RAF Chief Tech. (engines) assigned to the TSR-2 project and he would have been very familiar with that particular engine..... one of my earliest memories is of my dad coming home from work very angry, because "it" had just been cancelled....

TSR2 was a fab machine. Shame it was scrubbed. Really big plane too; made a Lightning look small. [thinks: the latter, another great British fighter.....and yes I have flown it......yummy....]


Equally, why is he selling it on Ebay???????
