I noticed the signed first edition of Paul Brickhills book on last weeks Antique roadshow.It had been signed by lots of the raid crew but compared to bits of pottery it was not valued as much.

Thank you Livewirex. I wasn’t aware of this until I read your post. Took a few hours of work and picked up 3 lots. I am really pleased – and it was good fun!
