Saving Old Seagulls

Hello S.O.S folks

Bruny Island's Adrian Dale 'AJ', has asked me to list 'Frances' and a selection of the following Seagull Engines for sale.

This is due to his stroke condition preventing him from being able to use these items and he dearly loves.

He wants to sell his toys and is offering Frances (she needs TLC and a mud bath) and and engine of your choice from the list below for 1200.
Or nearest offer.

FIRST IN BEST DRESSED...

'FRANCES' paid 1500
She comes with cover, trailer & spare tyre, sailing rig and gear and the original BOS.

ENGINES

Curlew QB 1989 709.L3. paid 250

Osprey QB 1990 OL20B0 paid 250

SD SD 5709L8 paid 200
good condition, chopped down, burnished shaft and chinese hat, correct caburater, with trumpet

SD 4322.L paid 200

Oh and all those engines are for sale at AJ's purchase price, you just have to collect from us in Aldham.

Thanks folks, look forward hearing from someone!

Allegra AJ's wife.

Hi Allegra

Can I get details of the SD's for SD the register please.

All the best to Adrian,

Cheers, Hugo.

Hello

We are in the UK so wouldn't be planning on shipping shipping to Sydney.

You're in Sydney aren't you???

Cheers, Allegra

Hugo is building up a register of all the SD model engines we know about, so he is just after a few details, so he can log them.

Yes indeed. Just details for purposes of historical clarity.

No pressure as I'm sure you have much on your plate and the next owners can furnish them.

Sending Seagulls abroard is quite the drama so no desires along those lines.

Hi guys

Is this what you're looking for? Far as I understand the numbers below are the engine numbers.

Believe headsdownarseup also has a registry on file.

Cheers, Allegra

Thanks Allegra,

I've attached the questionnaire below which outlines the details we are after. Something for Adrain to ponder upon. As you can see it is rather intense.

Not sure about Jon's register..... haven't seen it. He asked for someone to take over and I volunteered.

Cheers, Hugo.

Hi there Hugo

Not certain we have the time for this register at present.

Suggestion, it may be easier if an excel sheet was created for the register!

Cheers, Allegra

Hugs

Did you receive the SD register pages via email from us?

Cheers, Allegra

Yep, I sure did. Many thanks. I emailed Adrain a few minutes after I received it

Thanks Hugo

He doesn't always check his mail, I'll get him to do that later.
Been sleeping all day due to activity fatigue that has caught up with him...

Cheers, Allegra
