Feeling slightly less filled with buyer's remorse after my eBay purchase vintage HOTOL/An-225 model arrived and turned out not to be unacceptably massive.

Nice review of my Me 262 book. Apparently if you learn anything from it, you earned it! speedreaders.info/29553-messersc…

In two pictures, the extent of Vulcan development! First prototype VX770 had 26,000lb thrust in total; final Vulcan B.2 had 20,000lb thrust per engine. All about altitude…and fuel from a short runway.

I believe that's footage from Lt W. Gerbe's Mustang on Nov 1, 1944. The Me 262 is in a flat spin, having had one engine shot out, and Gerbe is chasing it down as it plummets, still firing.

At around 420 pages, HOTOL: Britain's Spaceplane is the longest book I've ever written - and with more than 450 images is also the most heavily illustrated. Should be ready to print shortly.

Hopefully going to the printers tomorrow.

Advance copy of my new book just back from the printers.

My new book is back from the printers and you get a signed copy - if such things appeal to you - when you buy one direct from the publisher.

Been signing some copies of my new book...

Me with the three big hardbacks I've put out this year!📚

I've been looking forward to this dropping thru the letterbox. And it's immediately clear that ⁦Dan Sharp⁩ has produced an astonishing piece of work. The answer to all my Dan Dare dreams! An early contender for aviation book of the year? It'll take some beating ...

My HOTOL: Britain's Spaceplane book in Amazon's Aviation History category this morning:

Thank you Rob Coppinger

So this is cool.... #avgeek

Evidently my HOTOL book is a popular gift, alongside the excellent Winkle by Paul Beaver @ Beaver Westminster !

Looks great!

Pretty happy with that!
