In the 1960’s the Association of British Aero Clubs – ABAC – published a series of Pilots Notes for various aircraft, a friend has Piper Colt, Auster & Tiger Moth to mention three.
Does anyone know what the full list of types comprised of please?

I’ve also recently picked up a copy of the ABAC pilot’s notes for the Autocrat. They are in perfect condition except for the obligatory (slightly) rusty staples!
Additionally, inside there is a loose sheet entitled; ROTOL FLYING CLUB – Alterations to make “Pilots’ Handling Notes for the Autocrat suitable for the “Alpha”.
I picked the booklet up to add to the collection because it was interesting and cheap (£2). I hadn’t heard of them before either so have no knowledge whether any other types were produced. An ad on the rear cover is coded CVS-595, which may indicate a production date of May 1959.

I don’t know whether or not you’re still looking but, an orgnisation called Air Britain, located – the last time I looked – in London, are very knowledgeable. They might help. Try a google.

I received a reply from Ian Allan saying these were printed a long time ago – I told them 1960’s – and as such no list of aircraft types exists!!!!

Sorry. I was trying to be a bit circumspect with regard to the owners of this site.
