Date/Value of British Ordenance Survey map? RAF(War) Second Edition

[Chasseur]

I have an old British Ordanance Survey of England and Wales map.
Its of the Midlands (S), says stamped in red "RAF (War) Second Edition" and also "Areas Dangersous to Flying are not indicated on this map". Seems to be cloth backed with a paper/color front. In good condition but had been folden for quite some time it has some creasing/damage to the folded areas.

Just curious to date and rough value.

Hi Chasseur,

I just watched an 1940 dated map with supposed ties to a Battle of Britain pilot go for 90+ USD on eBay. So this would probably be the top end.

If the map is in the BoB neighborhood, the prices are higher. Also, what the map covers is important. For example the 1940 map that went for 90+ USD covered the eastern counties - 11 Group area.

You can check http://www.ebay.co.uk/ and do some searches for "WW2 RAF maps". See Item Number 160802104338 for an example. Generally, the maps do not seem to be overly expensive.

Does your map at the bottom lower left (first map panel) have a date?

Thank you gents.

John I do not see any dates on the map and not in the bottom lower left panel.

So its seems unless there is a BoB link probably something in the order of 10-20 quid give or take?

Chasseur,

You're welcome.

Scroll down to the bottom of the link I provided - it lists Third Edition : RAF (War), 2nd Edition as being "Published in 1942, with 1942 print codes."
That sounds like yours, so perhaps there's a tiny '1942' hiding somewheres on it.

His prices vary upon condition, from 5 to 10 Euros.

Story that sounds about right. So likely 1942 and about 5-10 euros then.
