    Just when I thought your explores couldn't get any better! This was amazing, what treasure lies in those sheds, a lot of moneys' worth, those lead soldiers for example - a lot. It really needs going through and saving but I imagine it will just end up in the skip, what a crying shame. Fascinating stuff and so enjoyable to watch.😊

      Very kind of you Pat!
      I do think about some of the stuff we walk away from, but hey, it is only material.
      I guess there's a lesson there somewhere!
      Cheers for watching

    Really interesting video. Thanks very much. The home belonged to the founder of British Caledonian Airways, hence all the paperwork relating to aircraft. The owner had been a naval pilot in the Fleet Air Arm, which would probably explain his interest in ships, planes and engineering. As someone mentioned in another comment, he died in 2000.

    The property was for sale for £950,000 but is off the market now. or sale for the first time in 68 years Mxxx Copse is a detached prefabricated 1920's bungalow with later additions situated on a good sized garden plot of approximately 0.67 of an acre. Located on the rural edge of the village, surrounded by farmland and bordering XXX Common at the foot of the XXX Hills, this property offers a unique opportunity to redevelop subject to the usual planning consents. The property is in need of full modernisation and given the nature of its construction is unlikely to be mortgageable in its present form. Given the rarity of opportunities such as this we would highly recommend an early enquiry to avoid disappointment.

    The BAC One-Eleven (or BAC-111/BAC 1-11) was an early jet airliner produced by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). Originally conceived by Hunting Aircraft as a 30-seat jet, before its merger into BAC in 1960, it was launched as an 80-seat airliner with a British United Airways order on 9 May 1961. The prototype conducted its maiden flight on 20 August 1963, and it was first delivered to its launch customer on 22 January 1965. The 119-seat, stretched 500 series was introduced in 1967. Total production amounted to 244 until 1982 in the United Kingdom and between 1982 and 1989 in Romania where nine Rombac One-Elevens were licence-built by Romaero.

    Another great explore lads, it's so sad when there's no family or friends left behind to choose what how to pass things on. xx
