Peter Twiss Effects Auction

FAAM did manage to aquire some items but not the medals and log books sadly

Fairey ’nuff!:)
Hopefully some of Peter Twiss’ effects will make it to an archive or display.

‘Come on, It’s not difficult, the family name is Fairey! ‘

Goddam!!! I knew that was wrong when I posted it……but couldn’t see !!!…then the phone rang….That’s my story and I’m sticking to it :rolleyes:

Fairey not Fairy

Come on, It’s not difficult, the family name is Fairey!

Total auction price for all articles sold was £49,580. Almost all the major items were sold on the telephone and therefore out side the hall.
I’m not sure about the FAA bids, as there seemed to be a private bidder from the city for the main items.
The Fairy family were bidding strongly, but sady unsuccessfuly. The items they did win were to go to Yeovlilton.

I hope it was the FAA museum, as they were said to be interested.

Some of the other items went for quite bargain prices I thought.

They went for a hammer price of £27,000.

Thanks for the information, as it happens I met someone today who also bid, but could not beat that figure. I will be interesting to see who has actually bought them.

Twiss Medals.
