Jeffrey, The visit to Farnborogh England was well warranted I think. PremiAir Aviation is the broker listing the Bell 430 For Sale,. Brokers name is Craig Lamiman,. Static inspection of the engine compartment and cockpit panel was in great condition, no visible leaks and cockpit indicated the 1660 total time is within reason, as you can see in the photos below. The only area that indicates non-operation or age, are the Wheels and brakes. Here is the information on the owner of this Bell 430,.and its current statue: Owners name is Mick Bailey, a Real Estate developer in Ireland,. He ran low on money and parked the Helicopter at PremiAir Aviation in BlackBushe airport in England in 2009, to be stored in hanger and engines where to be run every month. Mick Bailey has accumulated an outstanding invoice for maintenance of 65,000 lbs sterling, and 15.000 lbs sterling for hanger to date owed to PremiAir Aviation and is unable to settle his invoice until the helicopter sells. For this reason, Mr Bailey wants to sell the helicopter, "As is, Where is" basis, since he can't afford to chance not closing. Craig told me Mr. Bailey owns the Helicopter free and clear. Just a note, PremiAir houses and manages the Queens Helicopter, an Agusta 109, They supposedly got rid of their Sikorsky S76C++ according to Craig Lamiman the Broker at PremiAir.. I included a photo of the maintenance shop at PremiAir which was most impressive, PremiAir is a Bell 430 authorized repair facility. I spoke in great lengths with Ray, PremiAir's Bell 430 expert, who was very knowledgeable and has taken care of this helicopter since 2009,.he personally runs and logs the engines runs every month. The Queens Helicopter is also based at PremiAir Aviation, just to show you the caliber of operation PremiAir Avaiation is.. PremiAir wants this helicopter sold, and they are going to push Mr Baiey to pay his invoice or put a lien on the helicopter, so Craig the Broker is a little on our side. Pre
