There is a nice one for sale at Prestwick. Ridiculously cheap (I think). Ryanair Stansted to Prestwick for not much money.

Thanks Rod1


But I Think that may be a bit far for me to travel

Would anyone like to offer me a seat for a ride in one ?

A quick look on AFORS shows two for sale at present: at Prestwick at £21k and Lasham at £22k.

I'm not looking for a new aeroplane but could easily be persuaded to fly you to Prestwick and back for a contribution to fuel and a go in the Longeze - I've always wanted to see how they fly (plus there are people I need to go and see at Prestwick anyhow).

Isn't there one parked in Switzerland, having "diverted" from Stapleford?

As far as I know there isn't one parked up in Switzerland having diverted from Stapleford.
Are you are referring to a veri eze that is still flying back and forth to see me?
