Free to good home for a charity donation ! Aircraft relics

[Guest Fred Karno's Army]

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

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.

As soon as my mate Mark Gaskell joins up,im sure he will also be interested Ham? He helps run some small project/museum thats being created on the Fylde coast.

I can remember what most of it is off aircraft/ crash site etc,so will individually bag it and tag it in the box .

[HetzersGonnaHetz]

No problem, @Ham & Jam it's all for a good cause.

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. 

[Waffenamt]

Ages since ive drove past the old Silloth Airfield.

Peter,is that Jennings pub still open in Silloth? I think it was at the end of castle street?

Ive reason for asking as they had a small artifact display in the pub and i did my best to try to buy a certain item but to no avail

Not sure but could be the Albion on Eden street, it was owned by jennings brewrey but sold off 4 or 5 years back. Next time i am through that way, i will pop in for a swift half and have a look.

I think thats the one buddy. End of a cobbled street. Oh man,they had a lovely display.

Yeah, just had a look online and the write up says, a traditional bar with old pictures on the walls and models of whaling boats and some TT memrobilia. so a good chance its still there.

[Waffenamt]

Google street map looks like the place shut down long ago. Gutted. I might put an add in the local paper. There was one item i would prolly have killed for.

I'll take one mate and stick in a £10 donation.
