I believe Byron to be a really great ace bloke, so it doesn't surprise me to hear of that generosity 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Thanks for the nice comments everyone - much appreciated here

Following the death of my great friend and confidante Bill, almost the entire contents of his Gower home were left to me.
There was a vast library of transport-related interest, as well as a further library of general interest. Finding good homes for hundreds of publications has been a mammoth task, and I've been quite selective when choosing suitable recipients. I'm confident that he'd be quite happy with my decisions, as here was a most generous person.

A local fledgling transport museum has received a fair quantity, and so have one or two OOFers.
Bill was a big AEC man, and quite a fan of the Omega, so the latter gesture would certainly have met with his approval.

There's also a pair of wartime AEC Matadors to re-home next, so if anyone's up for a challenge please get in touch!

One of 'em is laid-up on his land, and so on what would've been his 87th birthday, we scattered his ashes across those fields where so many happy hours were spent - "working boots" and all!

If I had the time, the physical health, the money and the space, sadly I have none   My perfect project would be a Green Godess.......

I'm lucky enough to know a few old boys like Bill & am already amassing automotive collectables that i hope to pass on when i pass on.
    Good on you & sympathies for the loss of a well loved friend. Guy.

Check out a few Toyfairs. I only collect old diecast but there are plenty of railway stalls selling everything from rolling stock to diarama bits, literature, photos etc.
    Great for rummaging, never know what you'll find & you can haggle. Good day out for us saddos!!!!
