Where? It's a one position plane. Pilot only.

Hard to tell on the value, @ScouseJames. On some of these smaller private and civil planes, the avionics could be worth considerably more than the plane itself...

@mdsalemi I've never owned a plane and have assumed that the plane would be worth more than the Pagoda.  Will be interesting to know the answer to Colin's quiz.

Age.
F8. 1997
W111 1966
W113 1965

Value.
W113
F8
W111

I believe the F8 is a two seater, side by side seating.

Len, Garry, Mike and Ray all get half marks.
One person, Scouse James,  gets full marks!

The Falco is actually a two seater designed in 1959.
W111 coupe came out in '62 and the 113 in '63.

The values are based on current condition and all three could take any spot given a different condition.
Thanks for playing!

I'm afraid range might be a limiting factor there!

Dam, the detail in the question, year of "design" didn't register with me.

I was going on actual year of machines.

Never was good at exams, must pay more attention !

All good fun.

Yes, I would have to take a very expensive and long plane ride to get the fun one.   ::)
