Is this what you are asking about. I aquired it in a collection of parts from someone who worked in the old Sandhurst breakers, breaking up planes after the war.

My other form of enjoyment is speedway. Not so long ago someone tried to get Mildenhall Stadium closed, noisy motorbikes? two or so hours, once a week. Nothing was said about the big American jobbies that flew overhead. Last time I was there nothing could be heard, not even the person next to me, when they did. Or is that different?

No promises but I will look through my old tool boxes and drawing folders. I used to make universal joints for the Harrier and AV8B. There may be some old drawings etc tucked away somewhere if any good.

I don’t think it was the complete catalogue-mine has 259 pages.

Here’s AGS838..alas 876 not in my book!

I must have a different copy of the BB catalogue. Mine finishes on page 288. It has AGS838 in a different layout but again no AGS876. I was wondering whether anybody still used these catalogues, now I know. Mine was just sat on a shelf gathering dust.

found these:-





Photo 1 Father at work.
2 All mod cons (tent to work in).
3 Father far left.
4 Close to General Sikorski.
5 Unknown.
No doubt I will be told if I’ve done wrong in marking 4 photos but posted some before and had them lifted (not this site). If I am wrong I apologise.
Photo 5 has the name Morland Braithwaite, Birmingham on the back so apologies to them if , again, I am wrong in posting it.

At one time I was making bits to convert Airbus wings to fit the Nimrods. Are there any Nimrods with their original wings?

My father was not a prisoner. He was a reservist in the air force and as the Germans came east towards Warsaw he managed to avoid them and travelled south and after a long journey arrived in Marseilles.Then to Lyon,Clermont Ferrand,Toulouse,Port Vendres and just as the Germans reached St. Jean De Luz boarded the Arandora Star(liner) which took him, and others, to Liverpool. Not wanting to take over your thread I will finish with that while in England he lost his father & mother in the Warsaw rising & two brothers executed. You are so right in what you say, we should NEVER forget these people who gave so much that we should be free.
