Chaps
Did anyone else go to the DDay Museum (Shoreham) yesterday?
It was a sad end to an era. The museum was well rounded and well stocked with interesting exhibits.
A reasonable amount of interest from our european cousins means some stuff will go abroad.
I was quite surprised at the high prices paid for most of the lots and hence was not as successful as I had hoped.

It will be interesting to watch how many of the items turn up on Ebay over the next few weeks!

Unfortunately not Ant!
We have a Tyffie cockpit project and although that would have helped big time, I cannot justify the expenditure given the other projects!
I know of many disappointed people.
It was a bizarre day….quite bizarre watching people who do not normally collect this stuff buzz sawing off one blade of an Me109 3 blade unit to get it on their roof! (Wide eyed and incredulous we were!).
I understand that both the Typhoon and Horsa are France bound.

I was at the auction, and was equally surprised at the prices that a lot of the items made. Certainly there were a lot of disappointed punters who expected the catalogue estimates to be at least half – way realistic!

£4400? Hells bells! Is that inc the Napier? I should have bought it. I should have.

Photography not permitted? Ha. Thats nothing. Try Hawkinge – you can’t even use a notebook for Christs sake! Apparently S/Ldr Pinkie Stark DFC AFC had a bit of a disagreement with them when they said no cameras there! Still, better than Hendon pre-digital – they allowed photography, but arranged the lights to make it impossible even with all manner of filters. At least you don’t have to fork out a load of money for crap pics.
Anyway, enough of your idle Polish chit-chat; how much did the Tiffy cockpit fetch, anyone know?

Tony.
Mine’s enabled, is yours? Sorry to be a nuisance. Might it be better if you emailed me your address. Use the one on my profile or this one. tezzin @ hotmail.com.
Thanks
