Help Wanted - Missing Parts

Hello all, Following a clear out of a load of kits I cam across an old esci/ertl AC-130 1/72nd kit. Upon inspection all the parts appear to be present apart from the clear canopy sprue.

Re: Ebay kit bargains

Would anyone be interested or know anyone that may be interested in purchasing my kit collection as a whole, I haven’t the time to separately sell them but I have a list with photos.

There were hawks up and about but very little else. An AEW sea king did a few circuits of the Hayle area but I saw hardly anything at all last week :-(

The only regular used to be the 771sqn sea kings but sadly that is now a thing of the past :-( Im heading up there w/c Monday 15th August so if it helps Ill drop a line on here to say what's ...

Info required ( If Possible )

I am in Cambridge on Thursday of this week ( 21/04/16 ) for an early meeting. As I am relatively local I was going to head up to Lakenheath / Mildenhall.
Is there anything happening of note or is it just usual based aircraft and staging movements ??

Many thanks in advance
