Hi,
I'm considering parting with my Lightweight (Airportable to those who know better) Hermione, I've owned her for 17 years and had many adventures in her. I'm getting to be an "Old Phart" and she needs a new home. I'm not selling her to anybody, I'm not in a panic to sell so won't respond to low ball offers and I'm not selling her without the considerable amount of spares I've amassed over my time with her. I'm asking $20k for this rare and valuable piece of kit.
