The relevant issue of Aeroplane is December 2007.

Any chance of posting a link Duggy?

I have registered at A&A but the Activation e-mail I get is just a blank black page.

Note: Managed to find the hyperlink on the blank e-mail and completed activation process.
Thanks for the interesting images Duggy.

Thanks for the reference Gerrit. It looks like that is a great source of information.
I'm also hopefully obtaining a copy of the Mushrooom Series - Blackburn Skua and Roc.

Glad you found them helpful, although only one German aircraft fell too her guns.
My personal request, for an aircraft would be a SB2C, as it sank more enemy shipping than any other aircraft, in the Pacific.
One can only hope.

A quick dose of realism --- I've never completed an aircraft project yet so chances of finishing are slim.
My main interest is in the earlier stuff so SB2C not high on the list.
Priority is USS Yorktown CV5.

Main hurdle at the moment is hardware/software.
My main computer suffered a motherboard/cpu failure.

I've now put together a new PC with i5 processor 8GB Ram and installed Windows 7 64bit (upgrade from XP 32bit).

Next hurdle is getting all the necessary software installed and working.
Installing software puts me in a really foul mood.  >:(
IL-2 is already installed and working.  ;)

I've just had an e-mail back from the book supplier I'd placed an order with to advise that there was a mistake in their listings and that the book is out of print. :(
Still looking.

I found 3 copies on Amazon, but you may not like the price ... used from $161.36

See the link below

Thanks for the link, but that is way out of my price range. I guess I'll have to hope that there will be a re-print done soon.
