How very, very sad.
In our ever increasingly bland world filled with seemingly endless political correctness people like Fred are more needed than ever.

He will be sadly missed.

I love the one of the lineup of bombers and the C47 taken from inside the office, looking out the window. It reminds me of the classic magazine advert for bourbon (Southern Comfort?) of the same scenario with a silver B17 outside and the bottle on the desk.

I remember that ad. I think it was from the 1970’s and it was Sally B that was used.
The slogan said something like ‘After eight hours in the air, the last thing you want is luke warm tea’
Has anyone got a copy of that advert they’d like to scan in or even send me?
It had a very definate influence on the young AIB mind! 🙂 🙂 😉 😉 🙂 🙂

Happiness is indeed a shelf full of Putnams – I find British Civil Vols 1-3 most useful, as they are comprehensive, with stacks of information difficult to find elswhere.
Others worth a mention – the Action Stations series on airfield histories (originals long out of print, but aren’t they being reprinted?)…’Mighty Eighth’ by Roger Freeman, absolute classic.

Hi Moondance
A very tidy bookshelf that.
If you ever get bored with owning any of them, there’s one or two there I’d take off your hands.
Cheers
Andy 🙂 🙂 🙂 😉 😉 🙂 🙂

Anything published by Putnams.
A number of you would have guessed this already. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Yellow please.
Of course you know I think that.

Patty may be bringing over my new tacho cable if Aircrat Spruce can get it to him in time…

I’d give up on that, he’ll probably trade it for booze at the airport.

Away from the giant comet that will crash into the earth causing a giant wave that will wipe out mankind forever. I was thinking of Eastbourne.

Eastbourn or giant comet?

I’ll take my chances with the comet!! 🙂 🙂 😉 😉 🙂
