Hello everybody!

My name is Chris and I live in England! I have just stumbled across the site and thought it was so darn cool, I needed to join, so here I am!

I work very closely with WWII fighter boys here in the UK, most of which flew Spitfires and Hurricanes throughout the legendary 'Battle of Britain', in fact, I have just written a book about them! - Homesick At Space Camp

I also produce aviation art work with Aviation Art & Books At Great Low Prices From Rabbitsqn, so I get to spend a great deal of treasured time with these great heroes, as well as with the heroes of bomber command.

Well, that's basically how I am involved in the scene here in the UK, but I am also very much a fan of every other warbird that flew during those now historic years, so this site seems perfect for a chap like me!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I'm uploading some photos that may be of interest to some of you in my albums? Is that a good place to put them? I'd love some feedback too!
