Good choice, right up your street, although would be nice with some bigger drawings

Whilst on holiday I picked up Battle for the Fjords by Eric Grove.
It's a thin little hardback volume explaining how NATO would fight off the Soviet fleet in the far North Atlantic and the Arctic Sea. Reads quite realistic and I suspect the storyline was based on an actual exercise or wargame.

Only £5 and adds nicely to my WW3 collection.  :thumbsup:

5th dr source book  for the DR Who RPG, its Davidson, not altogether one of my faves, but its got the 5 drs in it so not all bad.

I haven't seen any references to the Buccaneer radar yet....  :thumbsup:  But the Buccs would have been right at home going low level thru the fjords for pop-up attacks on the Soviet fleet.

I got the Key Publishing softback on the C-135 in all its numerous variants. It's very comprehensive but for some reason makes no mention at all of the RAF's three 'Rivet Joints'. It's not a timing issue as it does mention thne MH370 disaster, very strange.

The author also makes the comment that '....surprisingly the KC-135 didn't sell very well abroad....'.

'Surprisingly'? Other Air Forces didn't have aircraft fitted with the required boom socket, or hadn't he noticed that????
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I think it was a Monty Python ref Nick. No wonder we call you Young Nick  ;D ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Bought that new Aviation Classics title on the Shackleton, and have to say I'm disappointed. I was hoping for alot more......seems ( to me ) to be alot of filler and not enough about the aeroplane itself !?

Does it have any mention of potential buyers other than the RAF and SAAF?
