558 Auction !

Postby Ray C » Fri Jun 29, 2012 10:22 pm

As I understand it the removed engines are write offs ! In these challenging financial times why not auction some interesting parts from them ? It could bring in some welcome revenue. :D

They've sold turbine blades in the past from the engines that were removed from 558 before her restoration.
