    It’s an N3N, isn’t it? I can’t recall the maker’s name or proper designation (Fleet??) but I’m about 80% certain that’s what it is.

    Ah i saw mention of a N3N in Aircraft magazine last night,an interesting piece on the french Salis family and La Ferte Alais.

    All these negative comments seem strange to one who never read AI. Aircraft has me interested just like Flypast used to. That latter magazine is still good but at 4.10 is a bit expensive. Aircraft seems meatier too and at 2.95 I had to try it. Just how long ago did it become Aircraft? An article I read last night mentioned a reference to the November 08 issue,or would they have been referring to AI?

    Watched Mall Cop last night. Not half as good as the trailer makes it out to be! Should have made it a 15 instead of PGing it-too tame. Could have been really funny but was just OK

    Perhaps Hubbard’s rather odd beliefs and his Scientology “religion” didn’t do him many favours? 😀

    I was given one of his books (the previous owner having dismissed it as “crap”), and found myself rather liking it… I bought the entire series.
    As you may have guessed, I pay very little attention to reviews! 😀

    Yea i don’t listen to reviews either,especially films,but when you got a bunch of SF connoseurs all saying those books are crap regardless of the scientology thing you get to thinking there’s something in it. If i come across the first book in a library I will read it for myself,but the whole premise,a SF detective story ,doesn’t appeal to me. The only book of that type I enjoyed was Asimov’s Caves of Steel and Naked Sun.

    You may also like L. Ron Hubbard’s “Mission Earth” series. They are what the author describes as “satyrical science fiction”. There are 10 books in all.
    I’m not sure if they are still in print, but they are worth looking out for.

    Don

    Hmmm Mr Hubbard is not held in high regard on a Science Fiction forum I’m on. In fact that book is listed in a recent ‘Worst ever SF book’ thread there,with quite a few listing it.
