Britains 1950s set list (1 Viewer)

[hhenry]

Geoff Duin's site is a great vintage Britains resource for those unaware of it. He has scanned a 1950s set list of Britains soldiers which I find very useful and I have printed.

This is the kind of resource I hope the revamped Britains site will be able to offer. Can you imagine complete scanned copies of all Britains catalogues? Maybe some dealers/collectors would think this would devalue originals. I'm not so sure, I would still want the original or the reprint... photocopies just don't do it for me, but they are a great resource in the meantime.

Or what about photos of all Britains box covers? Duin has made a good start. (This is starting to turn into a another thread about the WBritains website, and my dream of a "virtual Britains museum" and "WikiBritianspedia," so I'll stop here).

I think this would be a great idea. Escpecially the box covers. One of the things that attracts me to Britains is its long history. I think this is an asset that the new owners should use to their advantage.
