I think it's this book he talks about the wonders of flying back then, making practice landings on clouds. Wonderful passages.

Looking forward trading it thanks Bob

Well, my markings for @centaur567's ride is here! Thankfully, Gary let me know what his bird looks like and the decals need modifying.

Quick snap of a model I bought to send to Hubert:

I just realized that I spilled the beans on what I was working on in the background! More on that later... Can anyone identify it in the meantime?

I bought this because its MP3 and i wanted some music for the car (which is rather old and only takes MP3)

Sir William Walton wrote the original score but it was dropped and at the last minute and Ron Goodwin was brought in to write a new score.
Lawrence Olivier was so disgusted by this he threatened to have his name removed from the credits. A compromise was made and Goodwin did write a new score but the battle in the air music from Walton was retained so i went for this version above as it retains the full air battle score.
You might be thinking how does a theme tune warrant £7.99 but its actually the full score so its 20+ tracks and 40 minutes. As you listen key moments from the film flash back to your brain as music relates to pictures so while you have the BoB march the music where the dead WAAFs ar lined up under a blanket, the inspection of the HE111s by Goring, the missing pilots places at dinner in the German camp and the nightlife in Berlin when they get the first allied raid are all brought to mind and of course the final scene where they look out over London after the battle from RAF HQ to the full orchestral drama of the BoB march.
If you like classical music...........its jolly good old chap.
