Hello Twin Otter what are these sale regulations that could stop you from accepting sellers who turn up impromptu? Are these seller regulations enforced nationwide? Could such an impromptu seller not show you a photo ID such as a driving licence at the gate to validate who they are? Out of interest if a seller pre books for an aerojumble stall what additional checks do you carry out on them to verify who they say they are? This is not a critism, obviously you as a museum are allowed to choose who you wish but I will be interested in what checks you carry out beyond the ‘face value’ application form to comply with the ‘seller regulations’ Many Thanks.
(PS all I am trying to establish is why there would be obstacles in some turning up last minute and selling items from their car boot providing they paid the necessary fees to the organisers)

The ability to turn up ad hoc, have a look around and then have the opportunity to sell bits and pieces out of your own car boot (by payment obviously but without prior reservation) in order to make a few bob for the admission and petrol which is spent traveling. People are able to turn up ad hoc and sell at Sunday morning Car boots why not at aero jumbles? This in turn means the possibility of more people attending, more items being sold which in turn generates more people through the gates. Perpetuating circle! The passive seller from the car boot (not the usual dealers) will hopefully have fresh stock to introduce into the aerobillia pool. On a side note I think militaria dealers and sellers can also compliment an aerojumble. Why not also advertise aero jumble events to these pool of sellers?

Hi all,
Would anyone have an idea what a Vickers Varsity control yoke would be worth these days, it has know history, but is in nice condition.
Many thanks as always..

Quite often Vickers Valetta Yokes get confused with Vickers Varsity yokes. Do you know the difference? Both are quite similar but do have noticeable differences. Regardless both yokes are very nice and a good reminder of the piston era shortly before the dawn of the jet age. On the 6th sept 2015 a Vickers Varsity yoke sold on eBay for £206 (17bids). In fact it was advertised wrongly and was actually a Vickers Valetta yoke! From monitoring previous Varsity prices, a good condition one will fetch (low to high range) £175 to £250. Hope this helps, certainly a nice example to have in ones collection. Good luck.

Final price for the Anson yoke was 571 euros approx £423.

I believe the gun buttons on these are much larger than the standard grip button.

There is a suggestion in the news today that some of the Russian cruise missiles have fallen short of their targets.
