Notice of tender – For the sale of 30 surplus UK MoD Gazelle AH1 Helicopters

The Disposal Services Authority (DSA) would like to bring to your attention, the sale by competitive tender of 30 x ex British Army AH1 Gazelle Helicopters.

All aircraft have been in storage for a considerable period of time. On calendar life, all aircraft are considered to be unserviceable. All Bright Star Lamps, Cockpit Voice Recorder, SIFF and RWR equipment currently on these aircraft will not be part of the sale.

We are looking to invite submission of proposals on the following basis: • An outright cash purchase of all 30 x AH1 Gazelle Helicopters • The MoD may also consider and therefore invite an innovative proposal that would ultimately offer a greater cash return to the MoD once onward sale is completed. Any proposal should identify markets, expected costs and final sale and offer an initial cash sum but a subsequent share of the end price which is demonstrably greater than a cash offer for outright purchase. A bank guarantee of £500K would be required for the duration of the sales initiative.

All bids must have been received by 10am on Friday 15th January 2010. Copies of all tender documentation are available on www.edisposals.com

All of these aircraft are currently stored at RAF Shawbury, situated near Shrewsbury in Shropshire (Except XZ338 which is stored at HMS Sultan, Gosport)

Viewings can be arranged by prior appointment and our current intention is for viewing to take place on the 7th, 8th or 9th of December 2009. Viewings can be arranged by prior appointment (contact Trevor Smith; Tel 020 7305 3821 or e-mail DESDSA-CCF2@mod.uk)

Any bids must be supported by an outline plan that addresses the removal and storage of the aircraft and, if the intention is to recover the aircraft to a flying standard, demonstrate the capability to comply with applicable air worthiness standards. Prior to completion of the sale, the DSA require visibility of contractor and sub-contractor licences in this respect.

Moin, da sind ja drei olle Maschinen der 12Flt dabei und auch viele, die vorher mal beim 1Regt gedient haben! Die sollten wir ersteigern! :-)

... um Himmels Willen. Da hat man diese Schwirrkopter endlich überlebt und soll sich tatsächlich so ein Ding in den Garten stellen oder sogar nutzen? :)
