Really old RAF books

[Paul J]

I am having one of my time to time turn outs of stuff for decisions to be made and came across the following that might interest some.

 

Loose leaf binder with contents dealing with Aircraft recognition.

sample pages...

Another copy but with more inside.

 

 

 

sample pages of the inside of the paperback shown above.

 

 

 

I saved the reccy books from going on a bonfire when ,while in the ATC , we were moving in to new premises the old hut was getting cleared out and a lot of stuff got junked. I saved an Airfix catalogue which is the first edition, loads of RAF Flying Reviews which I don't have any more, the above binders and several scale plans (to 1/72nd) for building recognition models! 

Hope the above has interested you.

Thanks for likes and views. Having made a decision and as I have  had them all for over 50 years or so and its time for them to go .

Good luck with moving them on Paul, there is some lovely stuff in there but I think post to the antipodes would over stress my already over committed hobby account.

Those first books Paul remind me of my time in the ROC, even in the nuclear age aircraft recognition was done, we used to have contests between local posts if memory serves correct. Thanks for posting, took me on a little nostalgia ride.

Yes, as a kid I had my father's ROC aircraft recognition charts all over my bedroom wall.  The skies of Cornwall were disappointingly empty of B-58s and F-106s - and about 90% of the other stuff featured.

"Into the 70s with the RAF" is of interest if available Paul as well as the two 40s picture books

I would like to, but can't see Paul's pics.

 

Any help?
