Fleet Air Arm Whitleys

When it’s finished 😀

Seriously though, Spring 09……..hopefully.

Lee,

Any timescale on release of the Helicopters book? Wild guesstimate??

Hi Brian,

hopefully it will be reprinted at some point.

Once we’ve finished the RN Helicopters book then we’ll be concentrating efforts on the fully revised reprint of the 39-45 tome. That said, publication won’t be for at least three years I wouldn’t have thought. I have recently been told of at least one second hand copy on the market – yours for the princely sum of £175!!:eek:

Steve, don’t know how I managed it… my careless cutting and pasting probably,but the thread on Wartime scrappings has some relevance to this thread. (And, by the way, there is at least one Barracuda panel at the Museum of Flight, East Fortune. I’ll dig out a photo of it that I have.I’ll probably post that on the other thread!) Regards, Brian

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the info. I don’t have that particular book – hopefully it will be reprinted at some point.

I’ve read somewhere that some of the FAA Whitleys turned up at Crail. I wonder if any of them met their end at Balado Bridge?

Best wishes

Steve, Air-Britain’s Fleet Air Arm Aircraft 1939-1945,( Ray Sturtivant/ Mick Burrow) lists quite a number (16) Whitley V’s, with serials : transferred from the R.A.F, and in service from 1942 through to 1946, and also includes a photo of one from 734 Squadron, Worthy Down.
Hope this helps…I haven’t ‘Googled’ this either. Regards, Brian S.

If you find a pic of FAA Lancaster be worth fair bit!!

Hi,

Yes I am aware of google but I was wondering if anybody could expand on what is already out there.

Best Wishes

You’ll have Googled, Steve?
