Drew is very fortunate to have these folks as resources. Without them, he would have to pass up a good percentage of items. Many of these items need expert hands to make things sellable. That would definitely put a dent in the profits. But as it stands everyone makes a living. I love how some comments say Drews a rip off. They don’t realize who he has to pay to fix things up and what his payroll is or his overhead. Not to mention diesel fuel and time behind the wheel for two people to travel all over the place to collect just a couple items at a time
Martin is right, he true value of the chair is that someone sat un that chair who may have given their life so we could have what we have. We need to caretake these artifacts of war so fture generations do not forget.
Would he be able to find a young person nowadays who would be willing to learn this meticulous job? I fear that Martin belongs to a disappearing breed of hard working and highly qualified craftsmen. Sad!
That restorer is just a nice human, you can feel it through the video. Would absolutely love to have him as a neighbor. Good bloke
Great work! Once we lose these guys, the craft is gone forever! x
What a restoration, bravo Martin you are amazing.
Martin is a gem, he knows and cares. I wonder if any of drew's saves ever make their way into museums?

Great craftsmanship !
A beautiful and very impressive presentation. My thanks, appreciation and respect.
Great work Martin and Thank you for your service!!!
That’s an artist at work. In this day and age a young person learning from him could name their own price for their work.
Very talented man so clever
Amazing skills

Brilliant !
The WW2 Avro chair should be reproduced for retail sales.
Random, I live about a mile from an old Avro factory in Chadderton, Oldham.
You think Martin would take an apprentice??

👍 👍 👍!!!
He who has no past has no future.
A real dichotomy, yes fantastic that the seat is restored and saved but should a seat from a WW2 plane become a decorative object in someones home???
