Sorry Alan, whats DORIS?!
By: Arabella-Cox - 26th February 2014 at 15:48
Thinking about it, I saw a Stores Vocab for 27D in DORIS last time I visited. It seemed to cover the early 1950s – might be worth contacting them about your 27D/2537s?

Not a scooby then mate – chap who had em was adamant mossie and having offered one up against one of the wheels/tyres we have in the Museum it looks the right size…..

Hi TT,
I have several sets of Mosquito main wheel covers and their Stores Reference is 27D/2578.
Not sure what you have there?
By: TEXANTOMCAT - 26th February 2014 at 08:46
Thanks Tony – have dropped em an email! All the best TT

Re the whirlwind stuff, a possibility?
By: Mike J - 25th February 2014 at 22:31
I hope you find appropriate homes for them.
When I read the thread title, I initially thought you were talking about those oblong envelopes with stamps on!
By: TEXANTOMCAT - 25th February 2014 at 20:47
Could be! Thanks Tony!

Do you think the last one could be Wessex?, the number seems familiar but not sure.
