At long last received ‘Warbird Recovery’ from Amazon and am just tucking into it – its an excellent read and costs about £9 from Amazon – also picked up Hunting Warbirds for £1.99 not got it yet but I think its about the recovery (or not) of Keebird….
Mind you both of them have to be pretty good to compete with Peter Vachers excellent book on the Hurricane – also note a similar book on the FAA corsair reverse restoration is due soon and that Paul Coggan should have a Warbird Jets book out – a follow up to the (rather too many mustangs for me but jolly good fun) Warbirds Alive..
Think one of our members published Warbird Recovery – am not connected to him so am not advertising – just a recommendation!

Well good luck mate!

P.S.
Should have a Defiant dig in the next few weeks…….
Got back from a nice warm day at the IJsselmeer today. The weather was perfect as opposed to around 04:00 this morning when it sounded more like
the skies over Baghdad during Desert Storm (thunder). The expedition itself was a bit of a dissapointment but we did manage to find an aileron rib which proved beyond doubt that it was indeed a Lanc. Hope next trip in a few weeks time will be more succesful but that’s an understatement as the wreck we are going to investigate is lying in five gigantic sections on the lake bed, guess the type…………
A Halifax .

I looked the book too, still need to get the Vachers book on the Hurricane restoration. This makes fascinating reading.
I am going hunting warbirds tomorrow myself. A Lancaster site in the IJsselmeer. Wish me luck.
