More cookbooks were donated to me yesterday.

Madame Rheged is getting rid of some cookbooks in the next couple of weeks. PM me a street address and I'll postr them to you for free if you want. Having done the "redundant" thing myself, I'm happy to help anyone in the same predicament

... and very long on Winkle's conspiracy theories.

With good reason.........

Only if one is pre-disposed to agree with his theories, even though there is zero evidence to support them.
Actually he comes across as a bit of a Stanley Kowalski, 'I shoulda been first, I coulda been a contender.'
A shame really as he had such an impressive career.

Well at least we can agree on something.

Cheers Kit,

From Spitfire to Eurofighter, Roy Boot

Good book, lots of varied projects, mostly Blackburn of course. A lot on the Buccaneer.

rickshaw · January 17, 2013, 02:04:22 AM

Finally got a copy of Battle Flight - from Amazon - and of course today I get an email from Crecy explaining they're able to accept my order now.

Kerrillc · January 24, 2013, 05:38:45 AM

I lost track of how many books etc., that I have bought in the past 4/5 weeks. So here is the list as it stands.
From W H smith
Spies in the Sky by Taylor Downing, fascinating account of photo reconnaissance in WW2.
Heroes of the Skies by Michael Ashford, great book.
DVD/Book on Winston Churchill, his successes and failures.
Target London by Christy Campbell, sub-headed Under attack from the V-weapons during WWII.
Jamie Oliver's recipe book[/pre][/left] Recipe Yearbook: "food for all seasons".
The Hobbit by J R R Tolkien, (school boy nostalgia, my class teacher, Mr Gadd, read it to the class, enjoyed immensely).

From the local BHF Music and Book shop
Spitfire Offensive Wing by Wing Commander R W F Sampson with Norman Franks.
Winged Victory J E 'Johnnie' Johnson and P B 'Laddie' Lucas.
The Afrika Reich by Guy Saville.

From Trinity Hospice's shop
Jihad!: The Secret War in Afghanistan by Tom Carew

And last but by no means the least from Waterstons
Battle Flight by Chris Gibson.
I had to wait for this book to be delivered, the numptie of a post person handed the parcel to my neighbour, got the signature AND DID NOT LEAVE THE "something for you" card in my letterbox, which defeats the objective AND into the bargain, they, Esther and family, had to race off to visit relatives on an emergency visit to Birmingham and forgot to let me know until the 14th of January!!

Kerrillc · January 27, 2013, 02:12:25 PM

Here's two more to add to my library. From the Ian Allan shop at Waterloo on Saturady.

Attacker from the Cockpit series no 9: by Graeme Rowan-Waterson.

TSR2: Lost Tomorrows of an Eagle by Paul Lucas.

NOW all I need is the leisure time to read them.

The Wooksta! · January 28, 2013, 03:07:03 AM

That Attacker book has some nice photos and it's great to dip into.

Charity shop trophy - Empire of the Clouds - for the princely sum of 50p.

Me dad also passed me another cookbook, but I can't remember the title. Said it was more useful to me than on his shelf.

Radish · January 28, 2013, 03:21:42 AM

Ah....the Hobbit. Wonderful.

Just began reading "Sherlock Holmes v Dracula"....

Gondor · January 31, 2013, 02:33:03 PM

Read 'Blake's 7 - Archangel' a few days back. Didn't enjoy it at all. It didn't feel like the series and there's better fan fiction on t'interweb.

NARSES2 · February 08, 2013, 08:44:41 AM

Had 15 mins to wait for a train, Waterstones at station, buy one get one half price....result 2 books for the library

Target Tirpitz by Partick Bishop.

The Popes by John Julius Norwich. A subject that fascinates me and one I know absolutely now't about. The blurb on the back about the allegedly female Pope (no one new she was female) who allegedly had a baby during a Papal procession sold me. As I said it's a subject I rather shamefully no nothing about and I'm particularly interested in the Renaissance period and the Papacy was so important then that I've been missing an important thread to it.
