Well, what d’you know?? Book arrived this morning, and as soon as Page 7 we get our first typo!!
“Gordon’s research………….” repeated in the second paragraph.
For the record, that is NOT how I wrote it. But thanks anyway, for the book, Grub Street.
Tim
I’m not up with numbers – assume it’s the one in FB’s care?
Shame mine was a flamer!!
Tim
PS – looking back, merlin70’s photograph is the first in a long while to bring it all back. Heart rate well up!
Aha! But does that mean you’re in the book?
Tim
Any takers yet for South Eastern Aircraft’s MSFU/CAM Ship rebuild?
Tim
Sulk over!
Just had a very nice letter from Natalie at Grub Street promising me a copy.
I only had the chance to speed read it. Does it cover the MSFU Hurricane that is being built?
Tim
As an aside, thinking of Roll Royce, and the re-dedication of their Memorial Window next month, I’m going because I want to thank them for the integrity of their workmanship. I’ve flown behind 12 variants of their engines, from Kestrel to Derwent, without a hiccup.
So I think they deserve a thank-you?
Tim
Great!
All I could see was pre-order for28 Oct.
Tim
Where – pray – did you get yours??
I had hoped………………..!!
Tim
R6915 – great to see Nat Gould still active. A very varied career,
Including pouring tea in Russia!! (Neil Cameron on the right)
Tim
PS – Sorry about the size.
A slight tangent if I may.
1. 1935 – the flight that sealed my future – XV Sqn Abingdon – Hind – Uncle (Engineer Wg Cdr) pilot.
2. 1940 – Harts and Hinds – greatest wish, to fly Fury.
3. 1940 – July – take off top wing and you have a Hurricane!!
Tim
Ever grateful for my good fortune…………..
My Cranwell entry……
Thanks, Moggy, but Oops!
We seem to have lost Wick for Andy.?
Tim
*******!! But, in fact, he saved my life by putting me out of action for the big raids.
Sorry – it didn’t work the way it usually does.
Nothing a little moderator help can’t fix
Tim
I wonder if this will work………
Andy – yes – or this?
