Anyone know whether the Logbooks of Jock Bryce survive - Brooklands maybe?....and whether his flying experiences were ever recorded in an autobiography or a biography.
Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this historical aviation figure.
Cheers, PFR.

Did you ask this same question here a while ago? I would suggest contacting Brooklands Museum about this, if they don't have his logbook they may have some other material that could be of interest, John Pulford or Julian Temple will probably know the answer: Contact Us - Brooklands Museum

Yep that was me Jhieminga - thanks - over on another forum a week or so ago. Thought I'd try here as well, and thanks I'll follow-up directly with the museum - in the absence of any revelations here

Hi, Forumites
Sadly, his logbooks no longer exist. Apparently, his wife had a clear- out one day, when Jock was out of the house, and "binned them"... Aaargh

Dear God, whatever possessed her to do such a terrible thing?

Grounds for divorce I'd say
Has he ever written a book about his flying experiences? Just reading John Farley's "A View from the Hover"... and it strikes what an exellent read that'd be also

Yes: a fellow researcher at the Museum spoke to him not longer after the event - to put it briefly, he was somewhat miffed/annoyed... There is a book on George Edwards, and much of what was written about him was provided by Jock Bryce.
Worth mentioning perhaps that Gabe Robb 'Jock' Bryce passed away recently. If my facts are correct he reached 93 years of age. No more details available I'm afraid.
