Boy 1: Messerschmitts!
Boy 2: “Einkels!
Boy 1: Messerschmitts!
Boy 2: No they ain’t, they’re ‘Einkels!
I wonder how many of these are left now.

I would imagine you could contact the auction company and ask for an invite tell. At most you might have to become a registered bidder.
That may have a cost, or may not. One might ask if there is a catalog o (usually available for sale) or an online listing of the items.
In any event, nothing is stopping anyone from asking.

I have been informed by Mr Bianchi himself that the sale at Booker 1-3 June is for invited guests only or those that have already shown an interest in potential sale items, but not for the general public over those dates. Thought it might save some people a wasted trip.

Well I’d love to come along and have a look, although I highly doubt I can purchase anything on my funds xD

Ooh, I’d like to have had a rummage there. I bet there will be some nice old bit and pieces.
Sadly I’m in Holland that weekend. 🙁

2nd attempt today, most of it is present and correct !
When you own a vintage aeroplane as desirable as this one, you will always have a few ‘hangers-on ‘ !

Is the red and white tail a bit ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’-ish? To go with the ‘Nazi fighter’ fuselage still in the weeds at Booker?

The replica Stampe would be the one constructed for The Mummy.
Would love that Heinkel, mind. Sadly, I have A) nowhere to put it, and B) not enough money!

The picture could not be more contemporary !
There was a bit more activity as well, guided by Tony Bianchi. This was a trial fit for an upcoming auction. High winds stopped play but there might be another go tomorrow.
At the Booker AirExpo 1-3 rd June Personal Planes Services will have a bit of a rummage sale of 40 years worth of aero-tat/treasures

Of course, the picture may not be recent. It may all have gone by now – sold or scrapped.

The Heinkel model looks like the example that PPS at Booker had up for sale recently, interestingly the wings are from the Waxflatter Ornithopter from the Young Sherlock Holmes film I had been told that this had been sold at auction back in 2015 to the Middle East but it appears maybe not?.

I’m ashamed to admit knowing that the diving bell is a prop from ‘Warlords of Atlantis’, starring Doug McClure.:stupid:

Bomb mayby from BoB film too ! that Einkel will make a pretty penny
By: Arabella-Cox - 17th May 2017 at 11:11
The Jules Verne-esque “submarine” at the back looks interesting, too. That would look good in my garden!

That’d certainly look nice, but very large among my model collection xD
The replica bomb and the wings also look intriguing pieces.
