A copy of the top secret plan for the liberation of the Channel Islands at the end of World War Two has sold at auction for more than three times its expected price.
The 50-page document, codenamed Operation Nestegg, was discovered in a cardboard box in Derbyshire in the UK.
Auctioneers Hansons described it as a ""piece of history"" before it went under the hammer earlier.
The top guide price was £1,200 but the winning bid at the auction in Etwall was £3,800.
