What a fantastic link, I have to confess that being ex Army, well someone has to be, to find the EMER’s I used 45 years ago, brought memories flooding back.

Great, many thanks, valves, my gosh!

If you would like to contact me directly, I have a gel that will remove the rust without removing any metal, environmentally friendly solution that was discussed at the Stopping the rot conference on Saturday.

I’ll bring my diving suit then to ensure I am not out of my depth!

With regard to Kew, my first visit returned little of value, but on my second, I was able to quote a Service number and was allowed to view the full personnel file, and copy its entire contents, including details of the “war wound” that caused his Medical Discharge! He was based at the Air Ministry in London at the time.

All officers of the RFC and RAF are listed in the Army Lists and I have a set which are searchable .pdf fles. These are also available at Kew and given time you can track personnel through units. The people on the Help Desk at the back of the room at Kew are the ones to ask.

If you want to stop things found deteriorating and corroding, I will be covering this at Stopping the rot on Saturday at Yeovilton.

After that I will put the presentation on Slideshare.net
