Anyone fancy a nice static display Sea Harrier?
Now we have come across many items for sale on eBay and this one has to be the most exciting, I mean come on a stunning REAL Decommissioned Sea Harrier FA2 Jump Jet Aircraft. We must warn you that this plane is not air-worthy, but who cares it is a Sea Harrier FA2 Jump Jet Fighter Aircraft.
At the moment the winning bid for this aircraft is at £26,100.00, on the eBay site the description is as follows “This is a decommissioned ex Royal Navy Sea Harrier FA2 Fighter/Attack aircraft which has served between 1987 and 1997 with all 3 of the Fleet Air Arm Harrier squadrons (800, 801 and 899 NAS). The aircraft is externally complete to Static display/museum standards and would make a truly stunning garden feature or museum exhibit. Complete with wing pylons and belly AMRAAM pylons. Replica engine nozzles (cast from the real thing) are fitted to give the impression an engine is installed. Complete with photos of the aircraft in service and its full history. This is the aircraft featured by Air fix as the 1:48 scale model of the FRS1 Sea Harrier in the 899NAS 50th Anniversary colour scheme. This colour scheme was applied to this aircraft in February 1993 prior to it’s conversion to FA2 spec.
Sadly this aircraft lost its nose leg in 1998 when it taxied into an airfield, they have however replaced the broken hinges and nose leg pins they have repaired the bulkhead and fitted a mechanical down lock the aircraft is now restored and is standing on its undercarriage for the first time in 10 years. There is no real damage to the airframe or outer skin. When the nose leg hinge broke the aircraft sat on the belly plyons/gun pods (which were fitted at the time) saving the skin from damage. There is no corrosion. The paint work is original and very clean. There is the odd minor mark or scratch but nothing major. Basically it is the cleanest and most tidy Sea Harrier museum type aircraft you will find on the open market today!
The aircraft is not airworthy and is sold for static display use only. There is no engine fitted. Many of the internal systems have been removed or made inoperative. The cockpit is stripped out. We have mocked up the cockpit so from the outside it appears like a seat is fitted. We can offer optional extras (which are not included in this auction) to the lucky winner. We could fit the cockpit out to around 90% completeness with stick, throttle box, HUD, display screens and instruments. We can supply real engine nozzles, gun pods (empty) and a suitable mk10 seat again at additional expense. We can enhance the aircraft to your own specification and budget.
For the purpose of this auction the aircraft is sold as it is where it is. What you see in the pictures is what you get, arranging delivery and assembly is not a problem but will be at buyer’s expense, international shipping is possible and will only export this aircraft to Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, they can deliver to any UK port. Shipping would be in two flat pack/rack open top containers, an international export licence would also be needed but if dealt with correctly should not be a problem. Low start with a realistic reserve. If our reserve is not met we may sell the aircraft to highest bidder anyway so do not be afraid to bid if you are serious.
Serious bidders can view by prior arrangement on Saturday 21st June
