You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

Has anyone got a photo of a Blenheim in flight flying right to left that I could use please (I know its a long-shot as there has not been many on the air-show scene in recent years), I do not need to reproduce the picture, I want to draw it.

We will print 1000 copies only of each book and will be sold to anyone who wants it. The first will be out before Christmas. As far as cost goes, that has not been worked out yet. I will update when I know more.


Presumably publication has been delayed ?

Yes it has been delayed. It is written and is on its final proof-reading as a pdf doc. I am now creating a mock-up with all drawings and photos in place prior to putting it all in Indesign. However, going on recent progress, I would say it will be out in the summer - I am hoping sooner.

It is around 300 pages and has been very challenging, but hopefully its sister volume will be quicker to produce - having ironed out hopefully all the various issues involving what is a complicated subject.

Indeed it has. There's been some major restructuring going on resulting from some valid comments from a well-known and respected aviation author.
Also ARG now has a a mission. We need to find a photograph of John GN Clift who:

1) was Hon Sec of the British Archaeological Association

2) represented GB in the 1924 Olympics

3) Was a principal architect behind many of the classic RAF buildings of the First World War.

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:
