At 76 I doubt that I will have any further use for my valued logbooks. Obviously they mean more to me than to anyone else and I know that even my nearest and dearest will have any particular interest in them.
Has anyone any thoughts on this please? Any comments would be greatly appreciated

A most interesting and thought provoking question... Flight logs are of immense value to the person to whom they refer, they harbour personal memories that only the holder will cherish. It seems an awful loss for their content to be lost, however, considering the endeavour that went behind their creation. The same sentiment must apply to the many other aviation records that those of us with traces of aviation disease in our blood would at some point 'leave behind'. Books, photos, models....a lifetime of gathering, taking, building, and achieving. I don't have an answer to your question, just sympathy as to the sentiment behind it. Oh, and sincere gratitude for actually using the Forum in the way forums are designed to be used!! PB |

The CAA has evidence of the latter - up to a point!  . I am trying to consolidate my spotting logs, the flight log is less demanding due to cost! But, some logs are better than others. The older flight logs highlight the disappearance of airfields visited therein! Academic/museum aviation history faculties may be a way forward. I must say that my logs trace my history! |

My view is that they are your logs, and if you want to keep them.....you keep them! My flying logbook has been dormant for around 18 years now, but it contains the only record I have of around 13 years of flying (quite a bit of it from Blackbushe!) and it will be with me until my dying day! |

If there are Blackbushe entries and you want them to be kept safe, can I suggest you donate them to the Blachbushe History Hub. I am sure they would only be too pleased to look after it and make it accessible to view if anyone finds the log interesting in the future. As everyone has said log books are are very personal item and should be cherished.
