I found a new Museum in Maldon England on Thursday which was unusual for two reasons
a) Everything in it, is owned by a Private Collector and its all original
b) It has some unusual items that relate to special operations during and after WW2
Some of these items were things that I had never heard of. Most of the items displayed were donated by Peter and Pru Mason, a real life married couple both of whom had active roles in the Secret Service. Peter was on operations towards the end of WW2 with Pru starting post war.
There is little doubt that Peter helped Ian Fleming with some of the details for the James Bond books, an honour claimed by many but this seems to have more evidence behind them.
There were a number of items to do with historical periods but I have concentrated on this aspect.
If anyone in the UK is in the area I suggest a visit, its worth it.
