Maybe, but moving it would be a challenge! If I had the money and a place to put it, I would consider it. But then, the shipping costs to California might be a bit prohibitive. 8)

Well, in the absence of the money for it or a place to put it, I won't waste time considering it. Although it would make an interesting lawn ornament! Albeit a LARGE one. 8)

If I had a bit of property (several thousand acres) and a bit of cash (billions) I'd have a warbird garden 8)

Evanglider, have you ever heard of the TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson?
He bought an E.E Lightning and put it on his front lawn, while his wife was at work, she didnt even know!
There were 2 foot deep trenches on his lawn also where they towed it across

The name is familiar. Man, that took some guts. I can imagine the look on the wife's face though!

It was one to remember in Clarksons defence, he said they could sit under the wing in the shade on hot sunny days and drink tea

Hot sunny days...in England??? I could count the ones we had in my three years there on one hand! But I guess if you have the money to do it, you can do whatever you like.

If I was to own an old warbird, I would want it to be flyable, not parked on my front lawn! Unless of course, my front lawn happened to be an airstrip. 8)

As a renowned machine-breaker I dont think I could trust myself behind the yoke of a P-38 though

dude there's no way you can be serious about the P-38 being better loking than the EE Lightening, the EE was amoung the sexiest planes of all time..................

Only 15 thousand pounds? is that a lot over there? I would have thought that it'd go for several million.

Will arrange for local pickup only - so they're trying to wriggle out of the postage costs..... honestly!
Mind you, I've been inside that Vulcan - I almost wish I hadn't. It was heartbreaking to see all the instruments pulled out, and the throttle levers ripped off for souvenirs. What kind of scummy people could do such a thing?
I have a nasty feeling that it's too far gone to save - spares.
