Any debrief from anyone on how this event went? Thanks in advance.

Indeed a very good find. There’s a jumble at Old Sarum, wilts, tomorrow. There will be a couple of sticks there but no guarantee of a lightning example!

Not that golden Ann Summers grip I hasten to add? Lol.
Unfortunately I won’t be there but Happy hunting to all for tomorrow, hope it goes well.

Love the DC-8, had the pleasure of flying on a Spantax DC-8 60 series many moons ago returned back home on a Spantax CV990. If only charter flights still offered this type of variety against the sterile A320’s.

Not sure if I ever posted this one? Nimrod MR4 from the same Polish Supplier, he was selling these last summer. We spent billions protecting our shores from the Warsaw Pact and then lo and behold we sell our surplus stock to them! You will find that he is willing to do deals next time you see anything advertised.

GYD . I agree, for me the presentation of the grips are a bit too sterile and as you rightly state provenance is not well established. But hey ho one persons taste is not a reflection of another’s. Personally I would prefer a few knocks and dust on my yokes as if they have lived. Thought the site may interest some however, anyone got any other sites they wish to share ? I have linked others in previous post to this thread.

Replica grips and yokes wil become a worrying problem soon in years to come as they pass hands and the original provenance (i.e genuinely sold as a replica) gets long forgotten. Advancement in machinery and technology sometimes make these items hard to distinguish apart.

Appeal and Information on a Vulcan grip which has been stolen in case it gets offered to a collector (I appreciate that there are quite a few of these about).
