619,

Not sure where you are based but we at Bottisham Airfield museum might be interested – depending on what the instruments are.

Many thanks

If you can spare 2 minutes it would be greatly appreciated if you could fill out the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/bottishamairfieldmuseum

At the moment we have 220 responses – HLF are sceptical regarding the viability of WW2 themed museums and realistically we are going to have to make an overwhelmingly strong case for our bid to proceed which means we need in excess of 500 responses. I know this forum has a fair few members so please please fill it in.

Alan, good suggestion I will speak to our web person and see what can be done – will also have a look at Facebook etc.

Many thanks

Hi,

It sounds likely that Trevor Mitchell may have come through Bottisham. If anyone has any information that could confirm this I would very much appreciate it. We would love to put a display together at Bottisham dedicated to the men of the RAF who flew the early Mustangs and if any of Trevor’s family have any artefacts regarding this period of his career they may consider loaning or donating to the museum it would be of great help to us in telling the story of these brave men.

Many thanks

We at the Bottisham Airfield Museum are on the hunt for an F24 as they were extensively used at Bottisham.

Any leads greatly appreciated.
