Tinny,
Am in the process of cleaning out some old archives and came across a consolidated set of most (?) of the ancient blue books (including the weight control book .. which is what I have been trying to track down for some time) ... I can even recall flying VAR letdowns in anger in Oz ..... the memory is shaky but I recall that Nhill and Hobart (or was it Launy ?) had VARs at the time.
Let me know which books you are short and, if I have them, I'll send a scanned copy.
regards,
John
