Items from Tonbridge Battle of Britain Museum to be auctioned.

I had the pleasure and rare honour to visit this collection a number of years ago. It really is a truly fantastic collection, but as a rule was never open to the public. It was/is a private collection built over many years. Very much like the Ken Anscombe collection, which was sold of a few years ago.

Yes, its very sad that these wonderful collections are sold off and broken up, never to be seen as a whole collection again. But unless someone with very deep pockets and the foresight and drive to buy the whole collection move it and open it as a museum, then Like the Anscombe collection, it will disappear into private collections around the world never to be seen again. Yet more of this county’s history and heritage is lost forever…..
