A while ago I picked up a carrier bag which was full of envelopes. After delving in deep I worked out that they belonged to a RAF officer who started his career circa 1926 and left as a Wing commander circa 1948. To be honest most of it is interesting to a certain extent, I have never seen original cheque books and bank statements (all hand written) from this era but to be fair it wont hold a lot of interest here. Some of the envelopes are great and show a fair amount of history of the early days of the RAF on their own. I will also include some other items to show the interests and distractions.
Firstly, driving licence from the island of Jersey 1922 stating his age as 19.

1926 For any Pilot insurance would be an issue and no luck from the Daily Mail Free insurance policy.

Hi there,

Been collecting helmets for the last 50 years. Main collection from Malta, England and France.

Would be interested to share my helmets with the forum.

Bello! Is this Polizei Tunic original?

There’s nothing more satisfying than buying something you like local rather than buying online huh?

I got this at an antiques fair near me Last weekend with some stamps, I quite like the wear on it, gives it quite a nice look. Didn’t know these medals came with a pin. You can see on the ring and pin where the frosting has been worn off.

Due to the convincing wear i have no fear of it being a reproduction. It seems very natural and only for £25!

I haven’t been posting as much recently, school tests and revision have been keeping me busy, but with the tattie holidays soon, i will get more stuff posted cool militaria

Enjoy the photos(still using flash on my iphone, keep forgetting to buy a new bulb!)
