This archive is not in the collections in which it was acquired by the NMMTL. At some point in the past, the decision was made to compile all the information concerned with Bluebird and divide it by subject matter and, in this case, by the different cars. Therefore this archive is made up of collections from various sources, including donations by Tony Densham, Mr. N. Brock and Tim Villa (BLUEBIRD/25). It has been decided that since the original order cannot be established the collection should remain in the order it is currently in.
