Just spotted this event via another thread on the forum. Are there any members here going or taking part in the event?

There were instruments – but I am not involved with them (except for clocks) so I cannot comment on the relative prices – sorry.
With the exception of the Mk2A – German clocks are generally more expensive that RAF clocks. There were also a lot fewer clocks available than even last year.

Thanks for letting us know, looking at the photos there seems to be a stall selling a few instrument panels etc. generally what are the prices like compared to our aerojumbles?

A Shame, I found the Museum well worth the visit when I went – happened upon by chance.

I have just got back from Speyer. Drove to Holland and ferry back to Newcastle.
We spent Fri afternoon at the museum and Saturday early morning at the aeroboot.
The attendance from sellers was lower than before. For me – there was very little of interest.
From discussions with other customers there was a feeling that all the good parts have now been sold and that there is very little left. SOme of teh key sellers were not attending this year. I doubt that I will be back next year.
I attach some images of the museum and the event.

There are French, Dutch, German, Czech, Hungarians etc. all selling parts. Half are books and general militaria dealers – the remainder aircraft parts. Parts range from WW1 to the present day. I dont recall any Tornado parts – but I was probably not looking for them.
I will have a look.
My son will be with me and we will also visit the museum tomorrow afternoon.

Speyer is a great museum and a shame up I can’t get to see this – is there a range of good dealers?
Would it be possible to get details of any sealers who sell tonka stuff for me?

I am visiting again for my annual “strangled German conversation” contest.
I should explain – my German is not so good – but everyone is very nice to me..
