Including the pilot's log book, maps, medals, and "gun camera" photographs! link It's clearly an omen that it's to play Wings of Glory again! |

It's amazing that these have survived, considering that noone realised their significance. For those interested in WW1 aviation take a look at David Bremner's blog on Britol Scout 1264 link The original aircraft was flown by his grandfather Francis and David spent years recreating it in a project which incorporated several of the original parts. Francis learned to fly at RNAS Chingford, just down the road from the Aifield I worked at – North Weald. He went on to fight in the Mediterranean, flying the Scout. |

An incredible trove, (doesn't seem to be worth much dollar wise though?) but sad in a way that it seems no-one had worried much about such a family heirloom. |

Ah! North Weald, home of the Black Arrows… I remember watching planes flying from there, unfortunately not the Black Arrows… |
