Lots of you out there collect all kinds of aviation/airline memorabilia, like safety cards and bagagge tags etc. But I managed to get some other interesting collectibles:
-an original Fokker-factory brochure on the introduction of the F27 Friendship;
-a 1945 maintenance manual for the DC-4;
-a maintenance manual for the ATL98 Carvair, which is an addendum to the DC-4 maintenance manual (copy number 17, dated march 20, 1962).
I "rescued" these when the handling company I worked for cleared out the archives and threw it into the garbage. There was also a collection of antique towbars (HP Herald, Carvair, BAC 1-11) that went to the scrapman, as my wife didn't agree to have them stored on our balcony . Still feel sorry about not taking them home, though.
Anyone of you who have such unusual aviation artifacts?
