I don`t know if it`s worth putting them all back together as my kids will just trash them..job lot on fleabay me thinks.
It`s funny you should say about people cutting suits up and chucking blokes stuff out because of divorce.I went in the skip clothes store and pulled out some really nice old (but clean and washed) punk tour t shirts,The Damned,Stranglers,Pistols and X ray spex,quite collectables in themselves.I was wearing the Sex pistols shirt down my local when a friend who`d just got chucked out by his wife commented that` he had the same shirt or at least he did before his wife skipped all his stuff`….I didn`t have the heart to tell him it was his shirt !!!!
Before `elf and safety got involved I used to go down the skips every weekend and they were ok about you taking stuff out in exchange for the odd quid for the coffee jar.I`m suprised they let her take them as last time I went down there some bloke was getting a load of original Star Wars toys out of his boot to skip.I asked if I could have them and the skip guy said they were not allowed any more and smashed the stuff up in front of me !!In the `Good old days` some of my best finds were…………
WW2 aircraft landing lights boxed
Special forces Gemini outboard motor working
early german tinplate toy steam engine
12`x 4` OO guage train layout with engines
Letters,documents and photos from a RAMC Sgt. who was one of the first into Belsen…very graphic photos..but couldn`t believe someone had thrown them out.

[ATTACH]183322[/ATTACH] I can understand why parts have dropped off as the glue seems very brittle……thankfully most of the parts are in the bottom of the box and whoever painted them did a nice job.
it`s a dirty great SR71 Blackbird

It amazes me that there`s any paint at all on the stuff that comes out of the sea in Holland.I`ve just completed a deal for a bit of Stirling Fuselage with the roundel still painted on it from an SOE Stirling that crashed in the sea. PM to follow later Cees.
Any pic or links to other stuff that`s been brought up?
How did the escape hatch get removed..fishing nets..so basically …there`s at least a nose section down there to contain so many of the crew…depth?
Thanks Chaps
What superb condition…wonder what they need to kit it out?
True CD……..I`ll have to send a pic to Cees
ONLY £5000 !!!!!!!!
That`s the only FN64 I`ve ever seen.possibly the only one surviving ?
Thought I`d seen a Russian helicopter with a sort of twin boom tail?
