Right,

Good people of PH, your assistance if I may? It's that awkward time of year when I'm asked what I'd like for Christmas. A black Lamborghini Countach LP400 is over budget so I'm forced to look for other, less expensive items. I've always loved receiving a decent coffee table book on Christmas Day.

I have a general aviation passion and consider myself to have an above average knowledge of aircraft. One of the planes that really transfixed me is the SR.-71 and its associated variants. Just to confirm, Sled driver is out (somewhere with the Lamborghini), but there are seemingly many publications to choose from. I'm more and more fascinated by the stories about the crews and the missions rather than the aircraft itself. In the shop at Duxford recently I had a quick flick through this one:



In the 10 minutes or so that I read of it I was pleasantly surprised by it and it's currently to of my list, I just wondered if I had missed something better?

Over to you lot!

Cheers,
Olly
