Aeroguide - Buccaneer order quantity

NZ$ 45.00 each
Paperback
Author: Roger Chesneau
Published by: Ad Hoc Publications,Stowmarket
The last combat aircraft designed under the Blackburn Aircraft Company banner, the Buccaneer was a low altitude aircraft carrier based nuclear strike aircraft. The secret to the Buccaneer's success was its ability to fly 'under the radar' at extreme low level before popping up and delivering its 'special weapon' - as nuclear bombs were referred to at the time. Seeing extensive service with the Royal Navy, the Buccaneer was eventually purchased - somewhat begrudgingly - for the Royal Air Force after the BAC TSR.2 supersonic strike aircraft was cancelled in 1965. A small number of Buccaneers were ordered by the Sotuh African Air Force as part of the Simonstown Agreement allowing the Royal Navy to use South African Navy facilities whilst rounding the Cape. As with many ageing British combat aircraft, the Buccaneer saw military action at the twilight of its career, carrying out laser guided bomb attacks on Iraqi bunkers during Operation ... more

Aeroguide - Jaguar order quantity

NZ$ 45.00 each
Paperback
Author: Roger Chesneau
Published by: Ad Hoc Publications,Stowmarket
Initially conceived as a two place supersonic trainer for Great Britain and France, the SEPECAT Jaguar evolved and matured into a formidable close support strike aircraft. Intended for service with Great Britain and France, the Jaguar saw limited international sales success, being sold to Equador, Nigeria and Oman. Production of the Jaguar under licence was undertaken by Hindustan Aircraft Limited in India as a maritime strike platform. Although initially mocked by RAF personnel (one particular jibe was a saucer of milk left next to its nose undercarriage leg!) - it was claimed with tongue in cheek that the Jaguar was the only jet that counted its take-off run in its combat radius - The Jaguar became the most numerous strike aircraft in RAF service until the arrival of the Panavia Tornado in the early 1980s. In 1991 the Jaguar went to war as part of the Allied effort to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi invasion, proving itself as a sturdy ... more

RAF Duxford order quantity

NZ$ 49.99 each
Paperback
Author: Richard Smith
Published by: Grub Street Publishing
Established in 1917 to train Royal Flying Corps aircrew during WWI, Duxford was also the base for two United States Aero Squadrons, 137 and 159, and by the end was a mobilisation airfield for three DH9 day bomber squadrons. During the 1920s and 30s, expansion continued apace, with three fighter squadrons, 19, 29 and 111, and the presence of many illustrious names, including Harry Broadhurst, Johnny Kent and Frank Whittle. The first aerodrome in Fighter Command to receive the Spitfire (in August 1938), Duxford rose to supreme prominence during the early part of the Second World War. Part of 12 Group detailed to protect the industrial midlands and north east Britain, the base's role during the Battle of Britain was mired in controversy due to the 'Big Wing' tactics of Douglas Bader and Trafford Leigh-Mallory. From October 1942 to the end of the war, Duxford was essentially an American base for, variously, the 8th Air Force, 350th and ... more

Author: Tony Blackman
Published by: Grub Street Publishing
In 2007, a restored Avro Vulcan Mark 2 - XH558 - took to the skies to help commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Falklands conflict. To coincide with this the memoirs of one of its test pilots, Tony Blackman, was published to great acclaim. Now the first book about test flying this monumental delta-wing aircraft which dominated the history of the late 20th century is available in paperback. Tony is the ideal man to write such a tale as he flew no less than 105 of the 136 built, logging 850 flights at over 1,327 hours. His book describes in layman's terms what it was like to tame the first prototypes and to master the unusual characteristics necessitated by the Vulcan's shape. Although Tony puts the developments, demonstrations, incidents and accidents in their political and historical context, his story is a highly personal one. He explains how this awesome aircraft became a national treasure and captured the imagination of the whole ... more
