Did you get any Aviation related pressies?

[NAM Updater]

The Varsity at Newark Air Museum received a present from Santa – a new set of access steps!

[Sparts99]

I asked for Sheff's book on the TSR2 but that didn't appear so I'll have to buy it meself, but I did get two other books, Fighter Pilot the memoirs of Robin Olds which I'm some way in to and it's very good so far, and Palace Cobra which is about a 2nd Vietnam tour on F4's by Ed Rasimus. Has anyone read When Thunder Rolled ? It's his book about his first tour on F105's. Non aviation book was SHUT IT! brilliant, I've read it already, it's the story of the Sweeney TV programme. If you saw it first time round it'll bring back loads of memories.

Nope , (I think I got more than my share last year) Best pressie for me was a Nerf gun, Santa bought my boy one too, god they're accurate, I was shooting baubles off the tree from my chair a good 10 feet away (Caught the wife on the rasberries a couple of times too !!)
Worst pressie ? An electric kettle and a toaster !! (Mind you I did buy her a Dyson Vacuum cleaner ....LOL)
