Yeah that’s it! We lay out a load of the airline’s memorabilia alongside it

Including captain’s uniform and cap, catering box, tray cups, flight manuals, timetables and advertising.
We’re hoping that the chaps at Blackbushe will take on the memorabilia as the airline was not very well known (it later became Courtline which was one of the first big charter airlines to go bankrupt, leaving customers yuck abroad) and Blackbushe have one of the old Vickers Vikings that will be half painted in Autair colours.
We did a similar thing with Dad’s Air Anglia and AirUk collection, part donating and part selling it to the City Of Norwich Aviation Museum where they have a room with all of his stuff and a dedication plaque to him. Which is nice!
