As we approach the end of another year it has been a year with a sense of sadness as a number of ex staff have left us and we respect their memory.
Life in the archives has been yet again a very busy time. The amount of Eagle things still out there ceases to amaze me. We have had a large influx of aircraft manual, photos, and general memorabilia.
The Eagle items belonging to Captain Ralph Kohn have enhanced the archive considerable eventually more will be seen on the website. Help has been given to members of families whose relatives worked for Eagle and also ex passengers families. We are grateful to the many ex passengers who have looked at the website and followed on by donating items of real interest.
The future of the archives in principle has now been agreed. So they will be kept safely for future generations.
I know that many have asked about the future of G-APSA at Coventry the latest can be found on thedc6.com if more news becomes available it will be posted on the Home of Eagle website.
Charlie Fox (G-ANCF) at Liverpool Speke has had a lot of internal restoration work completed and our volunteer group has increased in number by some very enthusiastic people. The work has been hindered by a number of things, the weather and by a large consignment of Land Rover vehicles that had been agreed by the hotel to be allowed to park close by the aircraft. However we acknowledge that the land is owned by the hotel and we are their guests. That problem now no longer exists so early next year weather permitting the remaining paint striping will be completed. For further info see the www.bristol-britannia.com/p/home.html
This week I have just received three large boxes of Eagle memorabilia. Most has now been file and is exceptionally interesting.
All that remains is to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a great New Year and thank you for all the help you give from time to time.
