I have a load of manuals (20+), technical training notes and books on aircraft and I don't know what to do with them as they were offloaded onto me years ago and trying to rehome them.
The manuals appears to be Airframe fitters era 1940s-1950s
then a number are by Dowty hydraulics and gears again same era. There are also some drawings
the books are either technical or your generic book you can buy anywhere.
Where is the best place to source a buyer for this stuff?

Best regards
Matt

The RAF Museum(s) Cosford / Hendon may well be interested ...mayve Duxford....why not give them a call / email to start with.

The Hurricane and Merlin manuals are highly desirable in certain quarters and are valuable items on their own. You should contact a specialist auction house. For example, Bonhams have a an airworthy Hurricane Mk IIa in their December sale.

TEAM78, I've sent you a PM.
