At Damyns, we can lock them (and anything else valuable) away overnight in a secure area.

Funny, people have said that should be done to me but no time limit was mentioned.

No, the real problem with security at any display is when the paying public are around. You need eyes in the back and sides of your head. Two issues, theft and accidental damage. Some of this stuff is coming up to be 100 years old and it’s delicate to say the least.

Hi there,

Collecting log books is something I have always wanted to get into but can never find the starting point of buying them.

I started with my Father’s, now I’ve a fair collection of log books and associated paperwork. The problem comes with paying for them, prices have soared in recent years, helped along by evilbay. Then again, if it wasn’t for evilbay a lot of them would have been thrown out.

Storage is difficult, I’m currently buying steel travel trunks to put them in for safety from fire and water, any other suggestions would be appreciated, along with ideas for temporary display at events like Cockpitfest and Damyns Hall, main issues there being security and light.

Hi there,

I seem to recall an article many years ago in After the Battle regarding Sgt Squires last flight, and he meeting up with the german pilot who shot him down 40 years later, also do believe that this gentleman lived in the Castle Bromwich area of Birmingham where I grew up.
