fv1609 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Wally would this not have passed onto the NAM or was it privately owned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally dugan Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Clive it was part of the collection which the NAM took over from beverley and like other items they in their role as guardians of the UKs ' military heritage saw fit to transfer were by the ownership was given to a other party who then could sell the item and as far as l can find out keep the money Edited February 10, 2021 by wally dugan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashcollection Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Alsops are a scrap yard so I guess they won some of the bids from Fort Paull, very sad. Well at least Wally from the first sell offs by NAM several years ago via several other collectors and dealers hands first, I ended up saving the Beast!
