Apologies for a late entry but now found the document I thought I had.

I went to a number of The British Aviation Preservation Council’s excellent “Stopping the Rot” conferences. The sixth (East Midlands Airport 18/11/95) included a presentation/paper by Peter Elliott, RAFMuseum entitled “Care and Conservation of Documents and Photographs” – I remember it well!* It runs to 5 A4 pages, realizes that many of the audience have to work on very tight budgets and includes useful addresses and some suppliers.

I know BAPC do have spare copies of SOME of the books made up of each STR and would perhaps supply one for a modest charge.

I would suggest e-mailing BAPC Secretary Brian Dixon at: [email]secretarybapc@blueyonder.co.uk[/email]
He will be very busy preparing for the next Council meeting on 22nd November so don’t be suprised if it takes a while for him to reply. If they have none left I would be happy to provide copies of the five pages with the Secretary’s “ok”

Roger Smith.

* I remember it well as, having listened to the speaker talking of storing documents in cardboard boxes, I asked for advice on preventing rodent attack. My question was listened to in amazement and I didn’t really get an answer and the subject was exluded from “questions from the floor” 🙁
