Mmmm! Well for starters there was an almost complete Austin K2 ambulance at RAF Hemswell which I bought, but it was robbed of spares before I could effect a recovery of the vehicle. I also missed a Willys MB Jeep in 1985 for £2000 when they were selling for £2,500-£3000.:mad::mad:

Aviation-wise, also in 1985, the greatest missed opportunity was a medal group (D.F.C. & Aircrew Europe Star included) log books, & dozens of photo’s of a pilot which took in his whole RAF career from the 1930’s to the 1960’s.

The asking price at the time- a mere £350 for the lot.:(:(:(
