Ok can anyone ID that Hawker Hind? He is supposed to be the pilot it is unit coded what looks like 15 or 45

The new Haynes edition is a big book well beyond the size of a normal ‘novel’ as produced by P&S , Grub Street et al. Very good value for money.

I am pleased that this has seen the light of day in the press, although the book was first published ages ago by Kimber.

I know Richard Barclay and we tried to get some interest in a press article going some months back – but there was zero interest, then. Please that at least Metro picked it up in the end.
