sorry Brian, didn’t realise 2 A.A.C.U was another Brian!!!:D 😀 😀

I joined DARRT in 1993 and went on a couple of digs and loved every minute of being part of the group, however as the years went by things slowed down quite a lot recovery wise.

Robin (chairman) of the group had his fair share of personal problems to deal with over the years, and everything recovered I think since the late 60’s/70’s is in storge, DARRT has a museum but I think things are on hold at the moment.

It would be nice for the items recovered to be displayed but as usual ‘TIME’ is always hard to spare as most of us have boring things to do on weekends!!!

Amongst the items in the collection are numerous engines/airframe parts and a complete Fairey Battle wing, the list is endless……………:)

Did not know the darrt team/musieum are still active, would love to find the whirlwinds near prince town but devon is a to far really knocking for whitnesses. They must be the rarest fighters down that part which should be found and presurved

DARRT

Devon Aircraft Research and Recovery Team

Hi group, I am trying to contact anyone in the Thameside aviation society,
but there web page is well outof date, are they still about ??

I also wondered what ever happened to the old “Digs” groups from that we used to read about in the Battle of Britain “then a now” and the Blitz then a now ???? , seems you never hear of so many past groups, like Robin hoods
Devon aircraft research group, and some of the london and kent groups,
what ever happened to all that historically importanrt stuff they excavated in the 1970s when digging was rife ????
any one know or still keep in contact with old members of the groups ???
would love to find out,
cheers

The former Wealden Aviation Archaeological Group “became” Tangmere Military Aviation Museum who purchased the collection of the former (now defunct) London Air Museum although much had already been scrapped. Subsequently, much of the LAM items were disposed of/dispersed/swapped/sold/exchanged…whatever! Brenzett Museum (Battle of Britain items) went to Kent Battle of Britain Museum although Brenzett still extant. Halstead War Museum collection in private storage and still held by owner, Ken Anscombe. Steve Vizard’s collection still in his hands. Hope the (incomplete) resume helps?

I appologise from the start for my spelling , but my laptop keys keep sticking,
unless i bash em really hard , sorry for any inconveniance, iam not dislexic
😮 😉 😉

Do you have a full stop key at all? 😀

Chris,

Both DAART and Thameside are still active.

In fact both have representatives here. Why don’t you PM forumites ‘Colin Wingrave’ and ‘H.M.S Vulture’ for details ?
