Flying Log Book for assorted W./T. flight tests in the period January 1944 to August 1945, wartime photographs, and much besides, not least a large series of typed and hand written reports, largely pertinent to wartime W./T. technology, but also correspondence with the Air Ministry in the late 1940s when he was employed by the Government - thus a request for his assistance from the Chief Research Officer at H.Q., Fighter Command. A most unusual and interesting archive and worthy of further research.
