There certainly was one, but I can't remember who did it. Formaplane comes to mind, but it may have been Contrail/Sanger etc.

I visit to our favourite local charity shop with two boxes of paperbacks to donate ended up with me buying NINE other hardbacks!

Five volumes of the World Airpower Journal, a superb pictorial history of BA with all the various colour schemes depicted and discussed, Thomas Becher's book on the 757 and 767 which includes diagrams and pics of models of the numerous different models that Boeing investigated, David Brown's book on the Royal Navy in the Falklands War, just about the only Falklands book I haven't got and an esoteric model railway book, all for £1 each!  :thumbsup:

RESULT!  ;D

Heads up for the Aeroplane Magazine.

Was in Smiths today and noticed the display. A WWI Special with a section on the Biggles exhibition at Hendon. Got it and when I got it home discovered that this edition also includes 4 WWI postcards of aircraft and a free copy of one of their Company Profile bookazines. Company was Vickers (not sure if all mags have the same bookazine ?). I haven't got this one so  :thumbsup: And a  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: as the magazine was £5.25 and the bookazine is normally £7 odd  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Huh?  :angry:

I didn't get the cards or the Profile mag! I'm going to complain!

Red Star Vol. 22, Mil's Heavylift Helicopters: Mi-6/Mi-10/V-12/M-26,
Y. Gordon, D. and S. Komissarov, Midland Publishing 2005.
:thumbsup:

Brand new at a Half-Price Books for $6.99, original price of $36.95.
They had a few other Red Star volumes at the same price, but this
was the only title of interest.

I have the AModel 1/72 Mi-10K which I got last year at a steep discount, it
had been a long-term shelf-sitter in the shop. Guess they got tired of it
taking up too much real estate.  ;D

The Mil volume has a nice colour photo of the record setting Mi-10R with
Mi-6 tricycle gear which featured lovely spats on the main wheels.

Steel Penguin

2 RPG source books,  Primeval companion  for more running from dinos fun, and the 4th Doctor who source book, Jellybabys anyone?

It's the Autumn edition Kit (I don't normally get it so I assume it's quarterly ?). Croydon WH Smiths had a special display stand set up for it, which is why I saw it otherwise I would have missed it

Ah, OK.  :thumbsup:

The current 'normal' edition has a Biggles painting on the cover and it's almost wall to wall WWI inside, no wonder I was confused.  ;D
