If all else fails, try Nalson Aircraft (http://www.nalsonaviation.com/) Paul Nalson buys insurance write offs and can supply such items.

Best wishes,

Eion, I have an ex RAF friend living in Unst who's willing to help but knows nothing about Eruopas. His car has a tow hitch and he thinks he can borrow a trailor. If you could let me have your tel no or e-address (send to harry.hopkins@talktalk.net) I'll ask him to call/email you. He doesn't take in...

Oliver,
