I'd like to thank my agent, Mr Bertie Swettishperson, for pointing me in the right direction, most of the time, the production teams at Amazon, WH Smith, P&S, and others (you know who you are,lovies), and, of course, Argos, for providing the latest book case. I really don't want .. er.. need, I mean need, this award, as I have run out of space for book cases, let alone bl**dy stupid awards. And it looks nothing like Kelly Brooke anyway .................

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Bravo, three cheers for Terry!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Here, here!

 

[Lucky13]

Have a large snifter old boy....!

 

[Lucky13]

Just delivered....

Have to say, with the Macchi C.202 Folgore book, it finally hits home what a beautiful machine she was/is.....and that Italian camouflage and those marking......

[Wayne Little]

Nice one old boy. I might be asking for some reference pics, as I've just accepted a commission to build a Stirling diorama, together with a painting.

This one arrived today. In 'as new', pristine condition, and only £3.99 !
BUT!!!
Imagine my surprise and delight when, on turning to the title page, I found these signatures !
Signed by the author, Chaz Bowyer, and Gp.Cpt 'Hamish' Mahaddie, PFF, at the 1990 Pathfinder's reunion !!!!

Tell you what, since I'm in a generous mood I'll give you 8 quid for it and double your money! How's that sound? Do we have a deal?

 

[vikingBerserker]

AWESOME!

Thanks chaps, I am rather pleased.
And Buff, I'm trying to think of the right words to reply to your generous offer. One of them, I think, might be 'Off' ...............

Something like "Yes, that's a great idea. I'll get it off in the post to you today!" perhaps?.....Ok, perhaps not!

First three I found at a used book store. Last one was from my brother.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Excellent find Terry! Nice haul there to VZ! I'd be interested to know if the Bismarck book is any good.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice!

What's the Little Bighorn book like? I visited the battlefield last summer - simply amazing! Read Donovan's outstanding "A Terrible Glory" about that infamous battle. Would be interested in your thoughts on the Lakota version that seems to be the focus of your new purchase.

Wow...some great purchases!
