I passed this on to Air-Britain (Historians).
Below is the copy of an email sent to Mr Kelly
Dear Mr Kelly,
I've seen the recent correspondence regarding the disposal of aviation records.
I do hope the whoever decides to retain what and where it is to go, will know what he or she is doing. There are people around who can advise on the historical value and anything to be disposed should not be destroyed but at the very least offered up for sale as long as it is available to public inspection without any charge being levied. There are far too many historical records out of reach of the general public.
