This is a comprehensive 2 trommel collection. Note they are NOT filed in any order but retained, usually in plastic sleeves for posterity and are not catalogued. Its just a personal treasure trove. The 2 large plastic trommels themselves are not included. The contents must be collected.
Please PM me if any interest in this rather large substantive collection.


Regards, Doug

From the many references the contents of your trommels have provided to this site over the years, I know that it is very deserving of a new good home. I wish you every success in the 'relocation' of the contents of those trommels.

Your 'Honorary Order of the Trommel' award says it all.

It is something I've been thinking about lately: What becomes of our collection before it's too late?

I'd love to take it over, but space...!

However, the early history of the Friends at Ysterplaat is deserving of being saved as Greg and I have been asked about the early days of the Friends. Perhaps I could collect those to give to the Friends?

Hi Dean, I will collate the Friends of the SAAF Museum newsletters/articles and give you a shout next week.
