New Spitfire Restoration Book from Haynes…new one on me!

Is it just me who rather enjoys Haynes’ aviation manuals….I must admit to almost having the full set even the *shudder* jet ones……!

But this was a new one on me – released it seems without much fanfare last week by one of the forum’s contributors – note to Mods I am not connected with author or the publisher!!!

Thought it may be of interest is all – mine is on order!

Yep – Hunter is an obvious gap….clearly would be popular….and also (given they like the sales following flight experiences etc) a Harvard would be a good seller…..maybe a Chippie too….. TT

I have my copy – another excellent work from Mr Blackah (and co-author Mrs B), well worth ordering!

Yep it wasn’t well advertised, I saw it by accident when looking for something else and being as I’m a bit of a sucker for that sort of stuff I got one ordered, it’s supposed to come next week. Fingers crossed.

Looks interesting, particularly liked page 66 from the Amazon description: “How do I know which mark of Spitfire I have?” A question which regularly troubles me.

I hope that Mr Cundall obtains a copy, it will be of inestimable value when he prises off the teak (or is it Canadian pine, I can never remember?) lid from the first crate and peers inside.

One for the lass to get me for next Christmas, I think! The range is growing all the time- one’s due for the Swordfish as well I see.
