Good one Jan!

It's a excellent 'wee' book, learnt a lot about the Halifax and its crews, some, who were shot down etc., managed to get back home through Sweden.....

Sweet Jan!

Nice one Jan!!!

Lucky13 · Nov 24, 2013

Had a lot trouble with the Halifax at first....with the Mk. 3 or B.III, the performance wasn't just restored, but also its reputation was vindicated...

Lucky13 · Nov 25, 2013

.....and this wee gem, arrived today as well!

Wayne Little · Nov 25, 2013

Good stuff Jan...

Lucky13 · Nov 25, 2013

Cheers Master Wayne! Still got three Lancaster at War, Pathfinders at War and Mosquito at War to arrive....

Lucky13 · Nov 25, 2013

.....hang on, someone's at the door..

Riiiiiight, what do we have here then...?

Aaaah....

Sorry Terry, the email's having a moodswing, here's some pics from the Typhoon/Tempest book by Reed and Beamont...

Airframes · Nov 25, 2013

Thanks old boy! Think I might invest in that old volume then. Got a book signed by Beamont somewhere - he used to be President of the PFA, and saw him at a few 'Fly In' events.

Lucky13 · Nov 25, 2013

Always a pleasure...! Pics of his Tempest in the book as well old boy....

Got given a copy of "From Timaru to Stalag VIIIB" By Jack Hardy:

This story captures the joy of flying, the excitement of training as a bomber pilot - and the horror of being shot down and captured in World War II. Worse was to come: airmen were handcuffed every day in their prison camp as punishment for the damage they inflicted on Germany. Jack's survival in the camp, and on the gruelling march to freedom, are an inspiring read, told with typical Kiwi humour and modesty.

What's even better - Its a first edition, and its signed!

Nice fellas!!

Lucky13 · Nov 26, 2013

Completely forgot about this book....

Wayne Little · Nov 26, 2013

busy boy Jan...

Lucky13 · Nov 26, 2013

Aye, true mate....
But, all them there 'at War' we're pennies, or couple of quid....
This one, I've wanted for.....well, some time...

Airframes · Nov 26, 2013

Great catch there Gum, and good one Jan.
Could only find a battered, ex-Library copy of the Typhoon book, at £9.95 plus shipping. Not paying that for a battered book sold by the library for between 50 Pence and £1 !
Only other copies ranged between £37 and £171 !!! For a book published in 1974 which, although reasonable, is nothing stunning!
So, I've ordered the combined edition, 'Mosquito, Typhoon and Tempest at War' - both books combined, with extra material, in good condition, for £4.95.

Lucky13 · Nov 26, 2013

Excellent old boy!
