Re: Acklington Record Book:
The National Archives will copy the book for you but it will cost and arm and a leg! As an example I asked through the NA website for a quote for the WW1 war diary of the 7th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers and was quoted "over £500". (compare with £3.60 once they have digitised it for themselves for public download). I would expect the Acklington station record book to cost about the same. I went down and copied them both myself so have the pages in photographic form. I will transcribe them and put them on-line but it will take 6 months to a year. I have completed the transcription of the 7th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers War Diary, it's just a matter of copying and pasting that one into a web page now.


Bamburgh
I recall the collection of recovered aircraft remains at Bamburgh but it's been a while since I was up there - I'll have to go back for another look!
