Nah. I’d have loved them to have done it as a “proper” book but they are really into digital publishing now and as I am contracted to them with all such books as I may write of this genre, I sadly have very little say in the matter!
However, that does NOT stop me sharing “excerpts” with you! Clear your inbox,,,,,stuff coming in to land!

Read the first parts, it’s absolutely fascinating and fantastic research on your part! The RAF have a lot to thank the boom of the 20s for! It was a real collection of nationalities there, all walks of life and backgrounds a shame it went the way it did. But that’s progress I guess!

No I haven’t made it there yet. It’s one of those on my very long list, I tend to fit them in with holidays, family visits etc, Rochester & Detling are others in the area I’d like to do.
I would love to see what you have, that would be so kind of you, and add some great information to the blog. Can you scan them?
