I popped into Andrew Michaels last week and found they were in the middle of another price increase. This is around 6 months after the last one. I spoke to staff at the Stratford Westfield Breitling boutique on Sunday, they were increasing from this weekend. No doubt the weak pound is to blame and I had better steer clear of the reasons for that. Anyway a Seawolf Avenger II is now up to £3,550 on a PRO III, from £3,385. (£3,200 in 2016). I'm Just glad I acquired a nearly new yellow one last week at a very tasty price !

Damn, I'd like another, maybe a Super Avenger, but I'm being priced out at this rate :cry:

Richard from Andrew Michaels also told me that AMJ would not be at RIAT Fairford this year as Breitling had decided to do it themselves. It's a shame, as they always had some great airshow deals.

That's a shame, often used that as an opportunity to get strap deals.

It's a real shame for AMJ as they are at top set of people.
Always had excellent service over the years.

Very disappointed to hear this. AMJ is/was always a highlight of RIAT, never mind the aircraft! Great hospitality, friendly staff, and as you say happy_chapie, some good airshow deals to be had. I hope Breitling rethink this and get the crew of Andrew Michaels back to the show!
