One mans passion, a former agricultural engineer and landy enthusiast now aged and stricken with cancer he is unable to do anything with his collection. It just sits and rots away
That's what I thought as soon as I saw the pics. I know this place well, although haven't been there for a number of years. Sad news to hear Mr Done is poorly with cancer - he's a lovely man and very approachable.

I saw in one of the pics a radar or radio trailer.. so much there and i bet some rare books such a shame to see them rotting away as i bet family will either just cut them up and scrap them or be sold for peanuts.... or trashed if and when he dies..
