Re: My small collection!
Hi Woody
We all started somewhere years ago, give it some time and you will have a booming collection before you know it. In what kind of direction do you want to collect (German, English, American, USSR, ...)?

Re: My small collection!
Hi Nick,
To be honest I'll collect absoltely anything asociated with WW2, whether it's British, American, German, Russian or any others.
Most of my items are dug relic items, inc quite a few aircraft crash relics... Ju88, Ju88 Mistel, Hawker Hurricane, B-17, Me109, Lancaster, Whitley (1st casualty of an enemy intruder over Britain)
Unfortunatly, my budget is very limited at the moment due to being made redundant from my job. Hopefully I can purchase better items once back in employment.

Re: My small collection!
Hi Nick (this could get confusing)
Thanks mate. I think I've done fairly well for 6 months. Although I still want lots more! lol
Yeah, not a problem mate... I'll take some pics of the M1 lids for you.

There is still TONS of WW2 relics laying around in the UK. Do you have a metal detector ? If you do you must try old air bases and gunnery ranges. You'll be amazed at what you can find.........even German items !
Check out what I have found over the last 18 months.........
Collection cupboard re-vamp !

Re: My small collection!
Cheers Steve,
Sadly the remaining hangers and area to the north of the M62 has been completely flattened.... they've even ripped up the taxi ways! (the m62 was constructed over the runway)
The area to the south of the m62 has been massively redeveloped since the airbase closed down, and the firing range - along with the majority of the former base - is now housing estates.
The only area left is the grassed area you mentioned next to the motorway. That used to be taxi ways and lots of buildings/huts/living quarters.
Do you think it's worth a mooch then?
Woody
