    WOW! and she is so young. It was great watching this lady in action. Saving things of our past. A prime reason I love the UK. They don't destroy they redo keeping the past alive.

    What an absolute delight to bring this lamp back to life and let it shine! Interesting to think how such a small part was so effective and critical. A rare and fitting tribute to those incredibly brave (and often unrecognised) RAF wireless op's and navigators, fighting in the most precarious of odds. Love to own this piece of history, but it'll be snapped up.

    Anything is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. Just look at the "rare" heaps of rust with Ford badges on being sold on Ebay. And the sellers descriptions are something else. "Could be back on the road with a couple of weekends work - no time wasters or tyre kickers - I'm in no rush to sell and I know what these are worth" Drew obviously makes a good living out of what he does. But I'm sure he's also had his fingers burned on a few occasions.

    I watched this episode last night. I thought it was satire tbh. Firstly, he paid £175 for it? Secondly, he paid £240 to restore it??? Thirdly, he valued it at £1000?????!!!!!!!?????? I mean seriously, you wouldn't even buy that at a car boot sale for £10. Just goes to show how utterly stupid some people are.

    I bought a model 60 today for £30, although it's a little different and not as old or have the same history it's mostly the same. Seems like he paid a ridiculous amount just for the history rather than the lamp itself. Then again due to his show he has a lot more clients and potential buyers with more money than the average buyer or member of public sooo... 🤷‍♂️

    How does he know its seen action. If it had a bullet hole it would be interesting. Its just an old lamp that could do with a paint job.. Means so much to Drew he wants to sell it for 1000 quid. Its a total scam... My uncle was shot down and killed in a hurricane during ww2. I think he'd be horrified to know some slimeball phsudo antique dealer would be profiteering off bits of his plane... My grandad was in the RFC in the first world war, going up over the trenches in a balloon and phoning down the german gun positions as snipers took pot shots at him. He too would be horrified to see the relics of his bravery being touted for ten times its worth like someone robbing the dead for personal profit... If Drew had any decency he donate it for free to the Imperial war museum...
