I'm leaving a print-out of this  lying around the house and hoping that someone takes the hint for my birthday........

YES! YES! YES! Oh sweet mercy YES!


Easy Duncan, easy...  ;)

Take some calm pills and go and build a Comet 5 or something until the book comes out.

Not likely!

The next build due to hit the bench IS the Avro 730, so this is perfect timing.  :party:

Excellent, we'll expect the usual blow by blow account of course.  ;D

Overkiller, don't hold your breath.  This book could well be delayed, they often are.  From the description, I suspect this is a definite purchase for the library!   Well found!

Do you mean the black & white piccie hidden under the text at the top, or the camo'd wing with tiip fins at the bottom?

If it's the bottom one I haven't a clue  ;D but the top one's a Victor coming straight at you and the photo's been taken when the tailplane filled in the gap at the trailing edge of the wing.

Its not Rick, as the info is direct from Chris himself to Paul :thumbsup:, and it only goes out when its ready for printing as the editing and layout has been signed off, so should be available around May (as long as the printing is OK)

Well that's going on the wanted list! Wouldn't mind an HP.117 Flying Wing airliner of British United or BOAC.

Spotted this one on Amazon & hoped to get a scoop, but I'm way late to the party, b*gger!  Looks good, definately going on the list.
