Hi folks,
I have had a MM Lark helicopter designed by Peter Valentine, sitting on top of my wardrobe for the last 15 years (or more). It has all the bits, including inflatable floats & two Futaba Ripmax controllers ( with dead batteries ). As a noob, i was/am too scared to fly it & my local flying club h/c members would not touch it without modern gyros etc, etc, & now it has to go.
Wonwinglo, in his message about this model of 02/05/04 :

talks of "specialist auctions" in London for classic models (& that "the design is considered of historical significance in the development of the model helicopter"), so:
1) Anyone have any current info on these auctions or
2) Any one want to buy a piece of history?
