A 1946 Luscombe 8A has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

G-BSTX has an LAA permit valid through to 8th October 2024. It has an IAA Validation to fly in Irish airspace… The design and history of the aircraft appealed to us, so we set about repairing it after a landing accident in 2010… Compressions are 77, 75, 75 and 77 so you won’t get better. Built on 13th Aug 1946 the overall airframe time is just 2361hrs. The A65-8 has 659hrs SMOH on 29th April 2001. The prop has 73hrs SPOH. Inside you are looking at period spec instruments with a power for an Icom AC22E (not 8.33Khz/not included) and HM400 intercom. The aircraft has an air-driven alternator and battery fitted, so it can run nav lights, cockpit lights and 12V power to whatever cockpit electrics you choose to fit. In-flight you are looking at about 84kts at 2200rpm burning 17L per hour. Fuel capacity is 53L so you have roughly 2.75hrs endurance with a reserve and a range of about 210nm in still air.

The aircraft is located in Athlone, Ireland and is currently available for £22,950, although offers are also being accepted. Click here to check out the listing on eBay, which includes a number of additional photos and details.
