Thanks for the recommendation Kerry. Just finished reading it - a fascinating account. It also covers the post D-Day campaign from a very different perspective to other treatments that I have read.

There are also references to Leicester Aero Club in the book - a Morgan owning mate is a member so I will suggest the book to him.


Pleased you enjoyed it Paul. And you're living right next door to where they were made and first flown.


Indeed. Since I first found this out, I have made a special trip to Rearsby to take a look. I had been driving past the gates for years without knowing the significance.
