A live version of the same song filmed two years before she tragically left us, at one of her rare live shows, filmed with a shaky hand held camera which sort of emphasizes her incredible talent

I didn’t go through all the previous posts, but I have a sneaky feeling that I’m the first here to post a Madonna clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIZSPwKY75w
Excellent performance from the good old Wembley Arena (I have seen many many shows there, but not this one)

I can also vividly remember a book my dad gave me back in the late sixties when we were living in Cupar, while dad was posted at Leuchars, Scotland. It was about carving solid models out of wooden layers. Also it wasn’t the subject here that attracted my attention, it was the elegant execution of the graphics. Beautiful line drawings. The book and even memories of its title have long gone lost, but sometimes an image or something can hit that switch even in these days and a for a flash a picture of those line drawings appears in my mind. I’d love to know which book that was but I guess even for the most knowlegable this description lacks substance.
As a young kid it was the Air Ace Picture Library comics. I’m surprised noboday has mentioned these yet- is it one of those things you never admit to? There was one artist doing stuff for Fleetway at the time that was incredible. His drawings were perfect and he frequently did colour covers as well, even for Commando but he never did ink drawings for them. I have often thought about this amazing artist over the years and occasionally did internet searches to find out who he was and just a few months ago I found him. His name is Ian Kennedy and he is still around. So we, my brother and myself, didn’t just go for what was available at the newsagent – it had to be stuff by ‘him’. For some reason a lot of his stuff was about Blenheim and Beaufort crews so these two aircraft became extremely popular especially with Airfix and Frog kits available back then.
You can spend hours at the Pathe website like I did typing in search words like Hendon Air Pageant etc. They have some amazing stuff even from the inter war period of the RAF, which is my main interest, from the Hendon air shows to Wapiti Squadrons at the Northwest Frontier.
I am building a flying scale Sopwith Snipe for myself at the moment which will of course be in inter war silver. I have chosen a 32 squadron Snipe for my model which is also very attractive as can be seen on this image.
I’ve just re-read my favourite book for about the seventh time Never Stop the Engine When it’s hot by David Lee (later Air Chief Marshall Sir David Lee) about flying Westland Wapitis with 60 Squadron RAF in India. An excellent book about flying in the RAF back in the thirties. Get one if you can – I can recommend it to anyone interested in the early(ish) RAF. Next in line is, on a similar note, Chaz Bowyer’s RAF Operations 1918-1938. Looks very interesting.
