All,
The de Havilland Aircraft Museum are holding a grand easter sale on Sunday 31 March, Monday 1 April
They recently received a bequest, comprising many rare and out of print books, plus models, Corgi metal models (including 1/32 Mossies), and plenty of other stuff, including signed prints.
First come, first served; show your support for a superb local museum, and come and see how they are getting on with the Mosquito’s and others.

Oh, seems like a great place to spend a day… 😎
Too bad it’s that far from the heart of europe… 🙁

What a great museum! My Mrs and I spent most of the day there, looking round the various collections and rifling through all the books, DVDs, models and prints.
Ended up spending over £200 in the end…. Oops! That should buy a lot of brass screws for their restoration of the Mosquito prototype.
My Mrs very kindly got me one of the prints, M A Kinnear’s Mosquito Coast, for my birthday:
It’s signed by 8 aircrew.
I took a couple of shots of the sale and hanger in which it was taking place in case it encourages others to nip over tomorrow – there was still a lot left.

We’ve just got home from a brilliant trip to the de Havilland Aircraft Museum’s Easter sale. I’ve added some great titles to cherish in my book library today. In fact – I needed help from one of the museum staff in carrying it all to the car !
Many thanks to all the staff and volunteers for the warm welcome and laying on the event this weekend.
For those who couldn’t make it today – there’s another opportunity to go tomorrow ! 🙂

Well worth a trip by the sound of it.
