The best I have is the Putnam volume "Shorts Aircraft since 1900" by CH Barnes. Some were impressed abroad and some in the UK, some of those becoming instructional airframes. PM me a reminder of your email address and I'll copy the pages for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Remembering well the mortal remains of Scion G-AEZF as I do, and helping shift the wings on a trailer to Coalhouse Fort (before it ended up at Medway), this release is very welcome and will be a must have purchase. Look forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible to visit them at Rochester airport and have a look at the Scion rebuild - see their web site for details. Should be easier now after they moved to new and larger premises. https://www.mapsl.co.uk https://www.mapsl.co.uk/scion-ii Edited February 23 by LN-KEH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
