Dear All,

I am not sure I shall be thanked for this posting, but I think that there is something here for everyone. Have a look at http://www.dominicwinter.co.uk, and click on their catalogue for their auction on may 18th. Most important are Lots 1-300.

I take no responsibility for the domestic disharmony which may result from the visit.

Hi Chris,
Some rather remarkable items, but who is going to reimburse my lap-top, which got destroyed from me drawling onto the keyboard.

SES, John -glad to have brought this to light. There's nothing more annoying than being told 'you should have been there' after the event.
There is some interesting stuff, and it should be fun. Can't spare the time unfortunately, but might, just might -bid on a map or two. Let me know how you get on Jon.

Auction was fantastic, please help with my request on the Prop i have posted here.
The 109 tail went for over £6,000 !!!!

Jon -great stuff. I'm really pleased you had a good day. I'm a bit amazed at the sum made by the 109 tail fin, given that it has a replacement leading edge, but there we are.

I don't know, but the older I get the more I find pleasure in the enthausiasm of others and bringing these things to the attention of fellow enthausiasts brings a warm glow.. I'm sure Ed West (who no doubt never ages at all) knows the feeling.

Alas, I didn't bid -I've got a conservation bill coming up and
I want the full set of Die Geheimentegesberichte den Deutsche Wehrmachtfuehrung (13 effing volumes and I only have 4), so I must be brutal with myself. Saw your propeller blade -interesting. I have a 109E blade bartered in 1970 for a first world war flying jacket, and brought home from London (Kensington dealer, natch) in a white Mini. Dead days.

Did you see the blundered reference to the knickebein receiver? (Lot 271 I think). Now those don't grow on trees. Wonder where that went.
