DamienB Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Hope the mods don't mind a bit of self-promotion here... Some details here at Amazon Sorry it's a bit pricey, but it's a big fat book with bags and bags of illustrations and photos, mostly in colour. For modellers, there are a good number of detail photos scattered throughout along with details and drawings of the contenders for the requirement and unbuilt versions of the TSR2 itself.
Lightningboy2000 Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 If it's as good as the Experimental Turbojet Aircraft, then I will be looking forward to this. The cover artwork looks good! Martin
GrahamS Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 That's almost a weeks dole money! Looks like I'm going to be going on a diet...... Graham
AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I've just got to have it, now what can I sell?
Dave T Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) DB, Can you confirm this isn't Chox's book then ? And thus there are two new TSR.2 books ? And what happened to Joe's Aerofax title ? . Edited June 10, 2010 by Dave T
GrahamS Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Damien Do you know if they've got/will have your book at Duxford? Graham Edited June 10, 2010 by GrahamS
NAM Updater Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Nice one Damien - once it gets into stock at NAM I'll get details onto the museum website! At present the wing section is still outside, but that issue will be resolved post Cockpit-Fest!! Howard
Selina Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Great stuff Damien, Had another look at the 'girl' on Saturday in Duxford. As awesome as ever.
DamienB Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Can you confirm this isn't Chox's book then ? And thus there are two new TSR.2 books ? And what happened to Joe's Aerofax title ? My book is mine - it has nothing to do with Chox. There may be two new books, but there's only one worth buying. I think the respective page counts tell you all you need to know. No idea about Joe's title. Do you know if they've got/will have your book at Duxford? It's not out til later in the year but when it is I'm sure they'll be stocking it.

GrahamS Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 It's not out til later in the year [/b]but when it is I'm sure they'll be stocking it. Oh good - it'll give me time to save me pocket money.......! Graham
AnonymousDFB1 Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Damiem, where is it but to buy the book from for you to make the most from it?
sartois66 Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Wow, nice one Damien! Have just pre-ordered mine from Amazon (early Birthday pressie!) Cheers Kirk
DamienB Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 Damiem, where is it but to buy the book from for you to make the most from it? From me, special price - £100! I'll be selling copies myself on the web but not until nearer the publication date and I'm not likely to be competing with any discount that Amazon may apply at any point. Not finalised my plans on this yet. People buying from Amazon have bumped it up their sales charts nicely today - currently #14 in aviation books and #8,100 overall; and the higher it goes the more chance people will see it on there so it's all good!
bexwh773 Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Damien, Congrats my friend Let me know once youre selling your own copies, Id rather buy it direct from you Bexy
Skyraider3D Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 At last, prints of the cover art are available: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=60950
Peter O Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 I have a question about the Bonus Content on the website. I've tried several times to get in, but have failed. Now, I'm pretty sure I know how to count (at least to single numbers ), and can read and type pretty well, so I'm quite frustrated at this point. Here is an example of one of the pairs of questions I got: On page 306, what is the first word in the 2nd paragraph? Only one paragraph starts on p.306, so that has to be the correct one. On page 69, what is the first word in the 4th paragraph? Page 69 begins a chapter, so there's no ambiguity there. Nevertheless, I still got Sorry, those weren't the right words. Please try again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you wish, I can scan a page from the book to prove that I actually have it, or send a photo of me holding the book. I would have contacted you directly, but the only contact information I can find is via your Twitter or Facebook accounts, and I belong to neither. Your Britmodeller PM is also disabled. Thanks for a great book, and happy holidays! Peter

Thanks for a great book, and happy holidays! Peter I have the same problem as you Peter. Has anybody got this to work? I know its not important and its only a few extra pictures BUT i want to see them Anyway the book is a mine of information and its ruined one of my favourite conspiracys Grr
Peter O Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Damien PMed me after I posted my question, and gave me some pointers for making it work. After that I had no problem getting into it. Unfortunately, that was a year ago, and I no longer have the PM, nor do I remember what he said to do that made it so easy. Sorry I can't be of more help. Hopefully Damien will see this and PM you. Peter
AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Hopefully Damien will see this and PM you. I'm afraid Damien is no long on Britmodeller, you will have to contact him some other way. This is his website, handmadebymachine dot com (put the www in front and replace dot with a .) maybe you can get to him this way?
AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Really? that's good to know. Mind you Amazon's computers well detect a rush on it and bump the price
