-At that price I would expect copyright to them as well.

-My signed Peter Arnold photo must be worth thousands by now!
I did see a First Day of Issue BoB Anniversary (I think) envelope signed by the master up for auction on ebay recently. Cha-CHING!! Glad I didn't throw out my Barbie dolls...especially my limited edition "Spitfire Barbie".

-Ah but Matt, what use is Spitfire Barbie without her hot pink, flower-roundelled Mk.XI with Ken noseart?

-Now we know why the "making of" books are so expensive and difficult to come by. :)

-K5054NZ, I threw away the pink Spitfire, sad to say, because of my disgust with this Mk. XI having a 2,035 hp Griffon 65 engine! Can't these toy manufacturers get it right??
I remember a video announcing the Spitfire Barbie-with-hot pink aircraft release...too much CGI. She was flying over the Dunkirk beaches (in 1940 in, um, her Mk. XI), and there were literally THOUSANDS of evacuees below (unlike in the recent movie, which depicts precise history: 143 evacuees on the beach). Christopher Nolan would have been appalled.

Is that the limited edition version?

-Let me revise what I wrote.
My thousands of signed Peter Arnold photos must be worth pennies now.

-TonyT,
Just to set the record straight, I don't own any editions, limited or otherwise, of the "Spitfire Peter Arnold" doll...which, upon release, included a hot pink, flower-roundelled Mk. XI Spitfire, complete with Moggy (not Ken) nose art. When I say nose art, I mean nose art, as in schnozz.

-I had my eye on that one Matt, was sniped on eBay by someone from Newport Pagnell. Very disappointing. Was mint in the teak case also.

Mark12, I'm amazed at the price those negatives went for!! Have you ever seen something like this before, photographs or negatives going for such a high price?

-Newport Pagnell -- it's blueblood territory, where some country squires can afford to keep Spitfires in their garages.

-These crazy prices are down to an article being published in Britain at War by some bloke writing about collecting B of B film memorabilia and how much money there was in it... :rolleyes:

-Roobarb;
Any idea which issue that article was in about Battle of Britain memorabilia collecting and who wrote it?
Best regards;

For something really special and of superb quality or colour...maybe, but not for mediocre material such as this.
Two people, and it takes two people, really wanted these negatives.
For me, I photographed all the Spitfires at RAF Henlow building up to the BoB in film in 1967/8...in some cases using a tripod in the hangars with no lighting.
I also managed to include the spinner and show the serial on most of my shots. :)

I just watched 16 b/w 35mm negatives, in packages of four, of various participants in the preparation hangar at RAF Henlow in 1967/8, poorly composed, not sharp and in an unlit hangar...go for a staggering £304 on a well known internet auction site.
Time to revise my insurance cover. :)
