Collishaw CITARs for sale - eBay

There are two supposedly original CITARs relating to Collishaw - one for 3 RNAS, the other to 10 - on sale this morning on eBay.

Collishaw 3 Sqdn

Collishaw 10 Sqdn

Am I correct in thinking that - shall we say - they should not be, er, available commercially?

Best wishes,

Grovetown.

Quite right, these are originals almost certainly stolen from the PRO by that bastard Graves. The seller probably quite genuinely believes these have good provenance - nevertheless - they belong to the Country.

I will inform the National Archives to see if they want to pursue it further.


Thanx for bringing it to our attention.

I was informed that they were already aware of the items being on sale. The auction was abandoned within 24 hours - I'd like to think it was because of Grovetown's prompt action.
