[garys39]

Saturday 9th June & Sunday 10th, Saturdays find were, WD & Air ministry tools, US Barcalo spanners and a nice Goss china piece, in the shape of a "Trench Motar".
Sunday days finds were a Mk6 Kevlar helmet, a black beret with a RNA badge and some photos, one on HMS Rodney 1937/38, one of a Dennis bus (with blackout hoods on the headlights) and one faint photo, showing a couple (the man in British uniform), leaning against a car, which I think is a Opel Olympia, it has Allied stars on the front of the wings and 1.8Atu on the wheel arches, maybe a captured vehicle ?
I also picked up a 1944 medical card to a civilian in London.

Gary I noticed you mentioned a P60 ammuntion box. I've been looking for a P59 or P60 ammo box. Is the one you have for sale?

Saturday August 18th, an interesting find of an invitation for a H M Samuelson, to the German Aero Club Sports Fly In, 28 to 31 July 1939, lot consists of invitation, list of all foreign competitors, list of German competitors, list of events and a booklet of vouchers for food and drink to H M Samuelson, also in the same box were 2x RAF wartime maps, with H M Samuelson stamped on them. It is interesting to think that many of the competitors would have probably seen combat in the following years against each other possibly ?
Also found were some WW1 press photos and some naval buttons.

Close up of the invitation and the reverse of the voucher booklet, which has written in pencil "Oberleutnant Fritz Schurmeyer", he is also mentioned in the German competitors booklet.
