Control Column Magazine

Good evening all,

Does anyone have any gaps that need plugging in their collection of said publication?. A recent review of what was held in the Aeroplane Collections’ archive has yielded this surplus!!!!

In one box there is at least one set of each volume from 1 to 17, with the other boxes contains an assortment of the various issues across all volumes.

Get in touch if you need help 🙂

Unfortunately I don’t have room to store the magazines but was hoping for a favour from someone who has copies.
Probably sometime in 1967 Tony Osborne launched the British Historic Aircraft Museum initially at Biggin Hill. I know that he ran adverts in Control Column including an infamous advert where he falsely claimed that his newly set up museum would also include Lancaster NX611 and the other aircraft that belonged to HAPS. I believe the advert actually listed an inventory including the HAPS airframes. I understand that it was as a result of this advert that Mr Osborne was asked to vacate Biggin Hill and made the move to Southend.
Having been involved in the Southend museum a little later in it’s life I am trying to put together as much info as I can about BHAM / HAM and would like scans of any of the adverts that Tony Osborne placed in Control Column.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Anymore for anymore?

One big box has now been emptied helping plug the gaps in, and in some cases starting, peoples collections.
