Is there any known history attached to these particular aircraft? Such as where they were used? Who took the photos and where they served? This can sometimes point to the most suitable place/museum to send them. I googled the Battle serial number but couldn't find anything.

You could ask RAF Hendon or some other museum if they are interested. I work at the Tangmere Aviation museum
http://www.tangmere-museum.org.uk/
which revolves around Tangmere's life. I don't think we had Battles but I'll find out on Thursday if they are interested. It's always a difficult decision as we get many items offered - thank goodness - but can't always accommodate them. In a few years time we should have a new museum to move into with more space but that's a bit like 'when will SoW be out?'

btw we are opening our English Electric Lightning cockpit simulator in the new year. It's based on an actual cockpit using MS FS2004, a mixture of the Alphasim Lightning and various terrain etc software and wall projected display. Been in it several times training as an instructor Nice. We'll have to squeeze people into 15 minute slots including a quick briefing but if you fly actual aircraft or regularly fly simulators like IL-2 or FSX it's 'a piece of cake'. But I'm always a bit warm when I get out. We're also considering running Lightning Evenings for small groups with more time on the sim.

Yes please ask if they would like them, they do no good sat in my draw. I have no idea of their providence though, so that won't help. As for the simulator, that would be sweet and I would love to come down and have a go one day.
