Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Guys I am sorting some bits and have a box full of various aircraft relic bits and pieces Lancaster,Wellington,Halifax,spitfire etc,etc,which were collected from crash sites in Lancashire and Cumbria in my childhood.Some pieces are numbered and some are generic.Now I am gladly willing to donate these to any party that may be interested in them,ideally a newbie collector or someone who would appreciate them.Thats how I started . I don't want them appearing on eBay or selling pages , all I ask for is you pay the postage cost for them,and make a goodwill donation to a charity close to my own heart which is Combat Stress.The postage cost would be £12.95 next day delivery via courier due to weight. I hope they may spark an interest in the younger generation,and maybe just help start someone on the starting ladder,we have all been there http://www.combatstress.org.uk/ Lenny if this is in the wrong section please amend. @Lenny H&J Edited February 23, 2016 by Fred Karno's Army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve T Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I am interested in the marked bits H&J. Got any pics? I will add them to my displays at Military shows and schools, using them to educate people about the markings seen on aircraft parts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I would imagine Peter the Internet is the best place these days,back in the early 80s when I found most of these it was just through being taken to them by a close family friend,who lived and breathed aircraft relics and knowledge.If you give me a few days I have a wartime site plan for silloth it's a reprint but if I can find it your welcome to it.
