Where have all the aircraft gone?!

Post by Jonathan Holland » Tue Apr 06, 2021 10:51 pm

Sitting here waiting patiently for the Spring influx of aircraft for sale, and I’m wondering what’s happened this year!

I’m wanting to buy a 2 seat vintage LAA type, and there are normally a decent handful for sale all over the online advertisement outlets. At the moment there’s quite literally nothing!

Why is that?

I’m sure someone will give a good explanation about how Covid has caused it, but I’m not wholly convinced.

Dismissed before anyone has even attempted to explain :lol:

Surely it’s the end of the summer, approaching winter that folk sell? Why have an aircraft in a hangar all winter only to sell it in the spring.
If you have kept an aircraft though the winter and like now, not flown much, you want to get out and batter round now for a few months at least.
Probably a good case for a ‘wanted’ ad in the various places?
Good luck with the search.
