    Yes … RIP Bernard Matthews ….. He brought affordable poultry meat to the table at a time when it was needed ! Still is one of the largest employers in the locality …. I had the pleasure of working for him during the rapid expansion period during the 70’s and the honour of spending some time working one to one with him on his beloved yacht ….. he was very funny … very serious ….. knew what he wanted … and went out to get it !! He told me he got where he is by having the right people doing the right job at the right time ??

    Oh and he owns more runways than BAA …..

    eye4wings. Firstly I did not notice ‘DMT on the cover of the book ! and its based a couple of miles from my home, I see it and its owner often, must bring this to his attention ?

    There are many many references to Prentice and Proctor aircraft in the book, are you sure it was Airwork ? as the only major mention of them is as a very early Cessna dealer at Panshanger in the T2 hanger ??
    Meanwhile there are several mentions of Proctors in large numbers with “Aerocontracts and Continental Aircraft Services” and a lot broken up and burnt …… see scan below ……. Keith.

    I too remember seeing both C-4M2s at Panshanger in the early 60’s …. Happy Days !

    A few quotes from Micheal Packham’s book in my post above …..

    G-AHPB Viking 1A …. arrived Panshanger 14 December 1961 …. to Autair Luton April 1963.

    G-ARIC C-54A Skymaster World Wide Aviation colours …. arrived Panshanger November 1961 …. sold to Belgian Congo as 9Q-RIC April 1962.

    CF-TFE Canadair C-4M2 …. Arrived Panshanger December 1961 …. to Baginton 14 January 1962.

    CF-TFN Canadair C-4M2 …. Arrived Panshanger Late 1961 ? …. departed early 1962 ? to Luton, scrapped there in 1964 !

    Peter. Although I was there and watched the whole thing I have no idea who the lucky bidder was ? he was a youngish man early 30’s maybe (but at my age almost everyone looks young !) :diablo:

    HP81. I look forward to your early Stansted photos ! meanwhile I post this one, which is not mine, and I have no idea where it came from ? But is a very good study of a view from the doorway of the terminal (nissan huts) at Stansted in the early 60’s, a BUA trooping flight to ….. somewhere ????

    Runway06. The auction is not untill tomorrow 4th Dec.
    I had a quick look around at the viewing today …. made a few comments for myself on some of the aviation related items, although I must stress I know nothing about this subject, only what I have learned from you wise people following a few years reading almost everything on this, and other, forum.
    Only two items stood out for me ….. The Halifax Column …. looked straight and genuine ??? (how would I know) 🙂

    And Lot 1159. WW11 Canadian pilots log book + paperwork + photo albumn + cap …. this is expensive ? but would make a very good study.

    Also Lot 1068. nav light from a proctor etc etc ….. only because the light fitting has some readable numbers stamped on it ??? ( sad )

    I will be there tomorrow, weather etc allowing, if things are at ‘give away’ prices I may be tempted ?????

    Keith.
