Total auction price for all articles sold was £49,580. Almost all the major items were sold on the telephone and therefore out side the hall.
I’m not sure about the FAA bids, as there seemed to be a private bidder from the city for the main items.
The Fairy family were bidding strongly, but sady unsuccessfuly. The items they did win were to go to Yeovlilton.

I hope it was the FAA museum, as they were said to be interested.

Some of the other items went for quite bargain prices I thought.

They went for a hammer price of £27,000.

Thanks for the information, as it happens I met someone today who also bid, but could not beat that figure. I will be interesting to see who has actually bought them.
