Today we have taken delivery of a large collection of paperwork from the late Eric Myall, an aviation enthusiast and researcher.
Now begins the huge task of cataloguing it all! By our reckoning, the 16 items we have catalogued represents just 1-2% of the whole collection, which includes books, magazines, journals, loose papers and apparently a manuscript for an unpublished book written by Myall himself. No doubt more will be revealed as we make our way through the collection.
Eric Myall is best known, to helicopter folk, for his Air-Britain book "The Hoverfly File" (1997), but he contributed to several other books including the rotorcraft chapter for "British Homebuilt Aircraft since 1920" (1975). He continued to write for books and magazines until his death in October 2008.
