Wrecks & Relics vols 2, 3 &4

What I’m seeking is the prequel to W&R, namely the 1946 edition. Ah, what tales that would tell. If anyone has one, forget about a sensible price. I’ll pay a stupid price for it! ?

The original Wrecks and Relics Ed. 2 is near impossible to obtain in the 1963 original form.  However the Merseyside Aviation Society in 1979 published a reprinted and revised version titled ‘Wrecks and Relics 1963’.  ‘Wrecks & Relics’ 3 was published 1968, while ‘Wrecks and Relics’ Ed 4 in 1974 was the first compiled by Ken Ellis. 

The only original ed.1 (1961) that I’ve seen was in the hands of the compiler Don Stephens, who has since sadly passed on in October 2019.  There was also a revised edition of No.1 in 1974 in A4 format which could be scannable, being only a few sides in length.

Anyone interested in the publications of the Merseyside Group of Aviation Enthusiasts/Merseyside Society of Aviation Enthusiasts/Merseyside Aviation Society 1961-1986 my be interested in the discussion and then list (on page 2) of:

My involvement was from 1972 and for much of the 1970s into the early ’80s handed all mail order sales of our books, many of which were ground-breakers at the time.  Unfortunately the cover illustrations have partly disappeared due to action by the image host.  The ‘North West Air News’ forum can be considered a linear descendant of the 1956 MGAE/MSAE and MAS.

Good luck with your hunt. Unfortunately, my edition 1 & 2 reprints and 3 to 10 are staying firmly on my bookshelf.
