New here

Post by Turbo Ben » Sat Jul 01, 2023 8:39 pm

Hello everyone, first time here.

I'll be up front, I've only a passing interest in aviation (you can tell from my username I'm more of a car person) but I do enjoy camping at RIAT every year and I have been known to make the occasional model kit (BF109E and A10 thunderbolt are my most recent).

It was more my late father who was the enthusiast. He did his apprenticeship at British Aerospace in Brough back in the 60's, and was an enthusiast his entire life with a particular interest in WW2 era aircraft. He sadly passed away a couple of years ago and left behind an extensive book collection. Assuming it's not against forum rules for a newbie, I'm going to list some of his collection for sale over the next few days. I'd much rather his collection went to other enthusiasts than just handing it off to a reseller or using ebay.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Yes, I've started to list some of the items for sale. There's too many to put in a single ad, so I'm splitting them up into a few batches. I still have over 70 books to list!
