    I hope my son will take over my collection. I would rather see him sell things than give to a museum. I have given to museums in the past only for the items to disapear. I also have seen archivist’s get rid of things they dont like and when museum policies change due to new management. I have found its better to sell, at least the person who pays money for the item should look after it. I never use to think this way but have learnt a few things over the last 15 years.

    Many thats for that. The air displays where a bit more lively then. It was around the mid 1960’s when i first went to Old Warden for the first time. My father started going there as a young boy before he moved to Dunstable in 1935. He still remebers seeing his first aircraft landing at Old Warden. He is still working on the gliders there!

    The Hurricane looks like its in RAf camouflage, I dont remeber it in camouflage until it was used in the Battle of Britain film, but i could be wrong. When i first started to go there it was silver doped.

    The only AVIA 40P that i knew in the country was restored by the late Mike Birch 10-15 years ago at Booker for a frenchman Mr Ragot. I believe was his name. I met him once when he came to my father’s workshop to look at the Dunstable Minimoa. I dont know what happened to the glider when it went back to France.

    My father saw the half scale Stirling at RAF Stradishall, when he was at an ATC camp. He wrote a letter to the ‘Aeroplane Spotter’ which was published with a picture of the aircraft.
