PRJM Library

Hello

Just bought a copy of Aviation News from 1975 that features an article on RAF Driffield.

A few photographs are credited to have come from the PRJM Library. Unfortunately the article was written by the late Arthur Pearcy, whose archive [I understand] was split up.

Does anyone know if the aforementioned PRJM Library still exists? Also, does anyone know what happened to Arthur Pearcy’s archive – which dealer bought the collection?

Best Wishes

Quite right Roger – PJRM could be PJR Moyes – he has written a number of books on aviation history.

Isn’t/wasn’t there an historian Philip Moyes – were his initials the same?

I think you may mean PJRM Library which is Peter JR March.

So far as Arthur’s photos go, certainly a large number of his prints were being sold by a dealer who had obtained them. I only ever saw that dealer at a Whitwick aerojumble event – don’t know his ID.

Does anyone have any contact details for Peter J R March? I’d like to be reassured that Arthur Pearcy’s spotting logs for RAF Driffield and other RAF Driffield related information is safe?

Possibly ‘Peter R March’ Collection.

Certainly some of Aurthur Pearcy’s negatives went to MAP.
