A matching army Harley Davidson motorbike in a crate would be nice too!

Dunno about that but didn’t we find a stash of crated spitfires in Singapore a few years ago?  I’m sure I remember seeing that in the news but can’t find it now!

The father in law used to buy at auctions after the war, at Burtonwood in Lancashire. I believe the americans had pulled out and he told me they used to auction off crates unopened. You put in your bid and took a gamble. I recall him telling me a friend of his made quite a lot of money buying the american socket sets cheap ( they used A/F sizes while we were using whitworth) He sat on them for a while and sold them on.

An Uncle bought a truck at Ruddington.  That came with undisclosed cargo which turned out to be a load of motorbikes!
