collection lost in Grampian fire

On Friday morning the Grampian fire past through our family farm at the base of the Grampians. Fortunately the houses and museum on the farm were saved but the collection of Blitzes were lost. The heat was that intense the alloy tray on a Holmes wrecker melted into a pool.
This is the second collection I have lost as I lost a couple in the Glenburn fire on Black Saturday.
The upside is the three Bren gun carriers are ok with only one road wheel burning.
