Perhaps the first 3 are being sold on the orders of the Long Haired Minister for Home Affairs :lol:

I tend to agree that a picture or two and a brief description might help get potential buyers interested, perhaps they don' t really want to sell!
As for the fourth one, I got bored and gave up reading quite quickly.

Staying out for the summer!

The Dynamic ad is as useless as the others. That aircraft will never be approved in the UK.

Or it could be that the whole advert is awaiting approval from AFORS as I've seen adverts like that in the past that get more details after a few hours/days.

Just a thought

Could be, but one of the adverts is from 19th June.

Well smarty-pants, I think it turned out to be quite a bargain, especially when I got him to knock the £500 off. Arriving at my hangar very soon.

I never ceased to be amazed that people advertise aircraft for prices of £10K to £70K and do not even put one photo of the product up for people to see.

I thought the French were bad enough advertising a 100€K house with only a couple of pictures but the AFORS ads take the biscuit.

Composed mostly of water and ginger biscuits.

The LSA version is 550kg MAUW with bigger fuel tanks. The spec they list is the microlight version so should be able to be approved as a factory built microlight?

I'm so glad you pointed that out otherwise I would have completely missed that vital piece of information, my life feels enriched for knowing that! :roll:

Not with retractable gear.
