Bovingdon
 

No, not the airfield itself... Am I going crazy, or do I remember attending an auction of a huge stash of ancient aircraft spares at a ramshackle old chicken farm at Bovingdon many (10-15) years ago?

(by 'ancient' I mean a whole bunch of stuff dating back to WWII)

Can anyone confirm my memory? Who owned this stuff, why had it been stashed so long, and why was it being auctioned?

Thanks
