Is it living up to its reviews? I think it will be on my Christmas list.
A bit slow to start but well worth the read π

DC3 floatplane or Cessna Caravan on amphib floats, after getting my licence on Lake Buccaneer always lusted after floats:)
apologies if this is a bit late and o/t but there was a programme on 5 the other day (big, bigger, biggest, i think) and it claimed the an124 was the largest a/c. i think it carried a metro train to south east asia and it didn;t mention the 225 at all. i thought the 225 had this claim against its name?
If you watch the whole programme it was about the natural progression of cargo aircraft development and the 225 was mentioned at the end as the worlds largest aircraft as a development from the 124 for a specific need ie Buran transporter…
Anyway here’s a picture of the cargo from the world record
I was rooting in some old boxes from my time in Aunty Bettys Flying Club and I’ve found a Michael Rondot print I forgot I had.
It is Vulcan Farewell, an remarqued artists proof copy #5 out of 50 with a pencil hand drawn Vulcan in bottom left corner.
Anyone know where best place to get it valued would be.

Well, I was surprised that he had been in prison since 2001 so he has served more than eight years since returning from Brazil.
There has been speculation I think that the sentences for the Great Train Robbery were quite high at 30 years. Not sure if they were the same for every gang member?
Still I donβt have much sympathy for criminals bitching that life isnβt fair!
* Roger John Cordrey 20 years
* William Gerald Boal 24 years
* Charles Frederick Wilson 30 years
* Brian Arthur Field 25 years
* Roy John James 30 years
* Thomas William Wisbey 30 years
* Robert Alfred Welch 30 years
* James Hussey 30 years
* Douglas Gordon Goody 30 years
* Leonard Dennis Field 25 years
* Ronald Arthur Biggs 30 years
John Wheater, Reynolds solicitor friend who arranged the fake purchase of Leatherslade Farm was also convicted and sentenced to three years in prison.
While most of the accused would later appeal against the severity of their sentences and be refused, Roger Cordrey and Bill Boal were able to have their sentences reduced to fourteen years a piece while Brian Field and Leonard Field (no relation) each had their sentences reduced to just five years.
He was in for a 30yr stretch did a few months before doing a bunk returned to England in 2001 therefore did not even do 50% of his sentence
