No, no old chap, just for the 3 nights, 25th to the 28th of September next year, a Princes Street view room, it was kin expensive, but it's a hotel we've always wanted to stay in!!!
Is this room big enough for all of us? 
And can we ask for screens for Dicky? He likes his privacy.

1958 for the cars, 1960 for aircraft
Interesting how many of the military aircraft in the book are still in service today...have a guess which ones...
Think the C-130 has been in service since the 1950s and the Chinook is fairly old but I can’t imagine it was in service in 1960. Feel it’s much older than expected so I’ll leave it in.Interesting how many of the military aircraft in the book are still in service today...have a guess which ones...
Think a Google search is in order as I’m intrigued now so I’ll remain silent from here on out...

Good call on the C-130/ Hercules/ Chocolate Mouse Think a Google search is in order as I’m intrigued now so I’ll remain silent from here on out...
A definite point there, Slowcoach.
Not so sure about the Chinook though.
Anyway, I'm off to bed.
Nite nite Trivialites.

2 points, Just to clarify in active military service now..and in the book in 1960.
People are on the right track with their ideas...as a hint one air force seems to nearly have half of them....
