I presume it is for static display only at that price?

It's a pity that none of the AIII's were kept in airworthy condition in Baldonnel.

It's not clear from the auction whether only one aircraft is being sold.  They could be trying to offload more than one of the Air Corps machines.

A195 is still in Baldonnel with the museum and although it has not flown for five and a half years it could still be possible to have it flown again after a check out, but not likely to happen.
