At the moment I am reading: WET WINGS & DROP TANKS: Recollections of American Transcontinental Air Racing, 1928-1970 by BIRCH J. MATTHEWS, that I find quite interesting.
And am waiting for a quite mixed  bunch of books from various ebay and amazon sellers:

Discovering Scarfolk by Richard Littler

Scarfolk is a town located somewhere in Northern England which is locked in a perpetual 1970s dystopia of concrete, overbearing government, disturbing public service notices, raging xenophobia, and DEFINITELY NOTHING SATANIC GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.

For more information, please re-read this post.

They published a Scarfolk book?!   

I've just used my last Amazon voucher    I shall report myself to the relevant Ministry.

I already reported you. I didn't know what your Amazon voucher status was, but it seemed reasonable to assume that you must have done something wrong so, on the precautionary principle, I reported you anyway. You can thank me for my public-spiritedness later. When you get out.

From the Works for £3, A Short History of Germany

So...how many volumes?

[PR19_Kit]

From today's Shuttleworth Show, Tony Buttler's 'Fighters 1935-1950' from the British Secret Projects series (LOTS of whiffable stuff in there) and Peter Davies' 'Northrop Flying Wings' from the X Plane series. The latter will go well with my recently bought Italeri YB-49 kit.

A belated Christmas present: The Airfix Handbook - James May's Toy Stories

It's a mixture of the history of Airfix and the story of the 1:1 scale Spitfire that he built as part of the TV series. Pretty good stuff.

While there is a lot of talk on this forum about the Haynes Manual on the Buccaneer, here is one I got at Christmas/Xmas/Crimbo/Festive Season/or whatever you want to call it.





Each innovation gets two pages..
First is the "Scarff No2 ring mounting".
Last is the "Striker helmet and Striker II".

A book that I would describe as a "Coffee Table" book, rather than being for your technical library, but a very enjoyable read none the less.

Read it on the train. It has certainly piqued my interest and some investment in thicker tombs may be necessary 

We covered German history 1871 to 1953 for O Level back in 68, but I now need to know more about the period from 1700 through to 1871. I'm reasonable on the military side of things but that's it.

Me too!  Fascinating, isn't it.

Not mine, but from the local Library; "Shot down and on the run" by Graeme Pitchfork, as recommended by someone here recently - maybe last year?

Not even halfway through yet, but a good read so far.

B@//s of Steel, some of those Continental Types - and that's just the Girls...

Yup. It was the freshness and vibrancy of the colours used in the wall art that absolutely astonished me. That and the monumental scale of some of the pillars etc. I know we think we know how they did it, but it's still amazing.
