FORT PAULL AUCTION (for sale by informal tender)
Battery Road, Paull, Hull HU12 8FP
Gilbert Baitson’s are proud and privileged to be offered the opportunity to offer the East Yorkshire tourist attraction Fort Paull.
Fort Paull is the only fully intact Napoleonic Fortress in the North. Covering approximately 10 acres, this Museum is full of Underground tunnels and rooms, fantastic exhibits. Fort Paull houses a waxwork museum showing figures which have influenced the fort's long history dating back to Tudor times as well as an armoury showing various artillery pieces and armoured vehicles. The Fort is also the home of the world’s only surviving Blackburn Beverley Aircraft and there are fully licenced bar and tea rooms on site.
Offers for consideration should be submitted in writing to Gilbert Baitson LLP 389 – 395 Anlaby Road, Hull, HU3 6AB
Should there be no acceptable offer received, the attraction and exhibits will be sold off piecemeal by public auction

definitely some interesting items, some of the descriptions are a little humorous I liked the sand brown belt! Probably more junk than "good" stuff. I would expect a few bargains to be had but probably some stupid money as well. for some items.

Another update ! I understand that the fort itself has been sold to new owners and it is only the contents which are being auctioned off and the viewing days have been extended to a full week , Monday 14th to Friday the 18th and on the morning of the 19th too . The auction is now being held solely online starting on the afternoon of the 19th for one week .
I intend to visit on one of the viewing days , no need to pre-book a slot just turn up , but if anyone needs further information I suggest you telephone the auctioneers in Hull and do not email or complete their online form as you will not receive a reply . I type from experience !

I went along to the auction public viewing day at Fort Paull on Thursday 17 September , my first visit and free entry too ! Sadly I found the general condition of the lots on sale to be poor and I include the aircraft in that and even the fort itself is in need of some TLC and restoration which I expect will not be cheap ?
Mention of money and as of tonight the current bids on the aircraft are ;
Beverley £16,000
Hunter £7,000
Bulldog £500
Blackburn Triplane REP £650
There are several miscellaneous aviation items including spare wheels for the Beverley , prop boss spinner covers and what I think is an under bid 'scale model of a prototype Blackburn Beverley transport plane' at £280 which even without wings seems a steal ?
Bidding continues on line and finishes on Saturday and as ever look at the Gilbert Baitson website for the full details .
