KEEP CALM and CARRY ON

I can’t remember the name of it but there is a very good bookshop in Tunbridge Wells. Caters very well for us aviation nuts but also stocks other titles about various bits of historic machinery.

Yes, cracking bookshop, Barter Books. Really tastefully done with loads of interesting stuff, whatever your bent.

The Hotel (The Swan) is nice too. The dining room is panelled in the timber from the Olympic taken out when it was scrapped on Tyneside.

I know the area well – my ma lives about 100yds from the Swan.

That’s the one. It’s probably one of my favourite places in our part of the world.

There’s a hotel in the town that has a lot of the fixtures and fittings from (I think) the “Olympic” liner which is worth a look as well.

Is that the bookshop in an old station with a model railway running around at top shelf height over all the customer’s heads? If so that’s where I bought my copy of “Reach for the Sky” in 2004 aged about 14!

Has anyone brought out a travel guide book called “Bookstores Worth Visiting”?
What a way to spend ones free time between museums and airshows!

Not really Historic Aviation, but well worth an outing here.

Thank you.

Magic place for bookworms such as myself!As is Northumberland!

I seem to recall reading they applied for and now own the ‘rights’ to the design? So all these ‘unofficial’ knick knacks with the CKACO design are in breach of ©/™/®*…
