The King of the man caves
With the retirement of the last Wessex-built Sea Kings and Junglies from the RN and RAF, they are up for sale to the highest bidder.
From the Telegraph:
More than 20 are airworthy and expected to continue flying with commercial firms, private pilots or foreign nations, but six or seven are empty hulks that were stripped of parts.
While working helicopters could fetch £150,000 each, the hulks can be bought for between £10,000 and £20,000 said Paul Southerington, the managing director. All the money goes to the MoD.
He said: “They are being sold for upmarket gardens sheds or ‘man caves’. One guy was going to put a bedroom in and siting room in it.
