Would anybody happen to have any photographs or details of Brian Woodford’s Wessex Aviation & Transport Collection. A few aircraft from the collection including Stearman N4712V were entered into the Christies Auction at Goodwood in the early 90’s, does anyone have any pics of that event?
Many Thanks

I have photographed the entire collection and here is Stearman A-75N, N4712V as requested, seen landing at the Badminton Air day 27 April 1986.
The break-up of this collection is very sad and I could comment on the reasons for this, but it is not appropriate for this Forum. Brian Woodford spend thousands and thousands of pounds acquiring these aircraft and having them restored and it is such a shame what has happened. I believe Dragon Rapide G-ACZE is slowly deteriorating hangared at Haverfordwest, but may be part of the Christies Auction. Does anyone know? I know the DH90 Dragonfly and DH83 Fox Moth are now flying in New Zealand, but what of the others?
