Picked up off Amazon French Cruisers 1922-1956 by John Jordan, makes a nice companion volume to the French Battleships volumes and complements the recent British books by Norman Friedman.

UK Airfields of the Cold War  Philip Birtles   Midland Publishing 2012    9781857803464   Not a lot of Whiffing material but interesting.

Found 'The Air staff and AEW' in my mailbox today, a quick perusal shows lots of interesting proposals. When I'm done with the SpaceX Falcon 9 parts, I'll try to create CAD drawings of some of those FASS domes for 3D printing.

a copy of the ospray wargames rules  "in her madjistys name"  sci fi steampunk victoriana setting.

Just finished reading Seelöwe Nord: The Germans Are Coming by Andy Johnson. An enjoyable read. The ending does open up all kinds of possibilities for an alternative timeline

[Spey_Phantom]

arrived in the mail this morning

[Gondor]

Arrived yesterday in the post

The Air Staff and AEW

After a quick look through the book I may end up building quite a few more kits. The 1-11 looks interesting and different although I am finding the FASS is starting to get boring to me as they all look fairly similar.

I have acquired at low cost from a charity shop The Diary of a Cabinet Minister by the Right Honourable Jim Hacker, MP. Covering his first years in power, or at least in Government, with the aid and trickery of Sir Humphrey Appleby and Bernard Woolley.

Now to find all the books in the set...

Local junk shop,  for 50p!  Axis Aircraft of World War Two  9781851529667  David Mondey  Chancellor Press.  In this, I find the information that the RAF  had plans to order the Caproni Ca310 "Libecco", in 1939,   in quantity.....300 is the suggested total. The order is said to have been cancelled when Italy entered the war.  Is there an inexpensive kit of this aircraft  currently available, and if I  do  build one in RAF colours,will it count as a true Whiff?
