    Bramah Edge Beaver has quite a few small bits and pieces. Glossop Heritage centre had a bit of stuff in it but it has closed down recently, don't know what is happening to the stuff they had. It also had Benny Rothman's rucksack, don't know whathappened to thateither. Maybe they put it on ebay.

    Oh and I know someone who has a shed full of second hand slightly damaged aircraft parts, and it's not Grouse. If you are wondering what happened to the North Kinder Sabres, he's your man. Think he's got a brother in the scrap metal business.

    That'll be a forum wrecky then ?? I'd like to go if you can hang on until I can run properly...

    Both books are on Amazon for less than 7 quid each.

    I'll tell you my mate's address if you like and he will show you inside his shed.
