What a hero Mike Holland is for saving Hove Engineerium. He deserves a medal and full recognition for such a fantastic act.

I was devastated at the news of the closure and planned auction of all contents.

It puts Brighton and Hove City Council to shame for ignoring something as important as this.

If this museum had been allowed to go under the hammer, we would have lost a real treasure, in the same way Potters Museum Of Curiosities, an interesting and amusing museum of stuffed animals begun in Bramber 120 years ago, was broken up and sold off in 2003.

So, Mike, from me and I am sure many other people, thank you so much for saving this unique building and its contents.

I know one person who would have been pleased - the late Fred Dibnah. He was a good friend. I met and visited him on several occasions and I know how he loved this building and its engines.
