bit of a long shot can anyone help raf benson pre 1941
Discussion
Hi all
Bit of a long shot but thought someone on here could help? Im looking for the whereabouts of an autograph book which had a lot of signatures from raf Benson.The book belonged to the owners of the London road inn pub at benson ,Bill (Wilfred) and Ruby Parker but the pub burnt down in 1942 so will be before then.From memory the book is dark blue with i think a dimpled/textured cover,also i think there was a drawing with a pair of ladies legs saying hello Ruby in one of the pages and there could be imprints of a name and address that could have been rubbed out but it would look like the name Carol Johns.From memory there are several quotes and poems written inside.It's last known whereabouts was in the Yateley/Farnborough hampshire area.I would be very grateful for any information at all on the book as Bill and Ruby were my mums grandparents and it would mean a lot to us.Any information however small would be brilliant so either send me a private message or comment on here.
Many thanks
Gary

Hi Eric
Sorry thought i put it in the post,iv asked mum and she thinks she asked about it a few years ago and were given different stories as to what happend to it but it could of gone missing upto 15 years ag.As for where it was last seen we are led to believe it was around the Yateley/farnborough area but the stories are conflicting.One story was it was given to someone who was connected to the british legion in Farnborough so we followed this up but they could shed no light either,another story was it was given to someone on yateley common walking their dog who they found was interested.
