A mate of mine told me about an antique dealer near him with a 1944 log book. I haven’t seen it and I don’t know for sure if it is a squadron one or a personal one. Anyone any ideas of what it’s worth roughly, in either case. Thanks. Incidentally he did say it was to do with Lancasters.

Its worth needs to be gauged in terms of its historical importance: to a historian these invaluable documents add detail and personal aspects to what can otherwise be dry official documents such as squadron ORB’s.
Monetary value very much depends on someone with the right interest being in the right place to buy it. If it’s something I’m researching I’d pay up to £500, but that’s my budget limit. VC actions etc you can name you price, but sadly these type of documents often disappear into collections, never to see the light of day again.

I would imagine that the devil will be in the detail. There will be a base value and to it you add depending on the level of content, famous actions, major names etc. Probably from not a lot to awesome.
