Its worth watching that episode again if you can, for two very interesting facts:
1.) The 'manageress' of the said museum, got done a month or so later for 'relieving the company of funds'
2.) They alledged that the past owner, Berry Savory (who I knew well when he was alive) was a flying squadron leader who flew with Doglas Bader...
Which is funny on two counts - a.) he never flew a combat mission in his life, his sqdn. ldr. title was given so he could stay on the ground and he helped plan dunkirk... and b.) he never met bader, but if you watch the titles carefully, theres a pearler of a subtitle...
'Derek makes contact with Douglas Bader... Famous for his Tin Legs'....
personally, I'd have thought 'WW2 flying ace' would have been more appropriate...
