-Possibly someone has approached them for a job lot to get it back in the air as opposed to individually bidding on everything.

-I shared this auction on Facebook and there is clearly a backstory to these airframes (I know not what) Bruce?

-It would be good to get G-AWRY back in the air, but maybe the registration should be changed first!
It was damaged in a forced landing at Englefield, Berks, in 1987.
