A book about Bournemouth Airport is an excellent idea that I could readily contribute photos to. The activities at the airport have been so diverse and interesting with the Vickers factory producing Viscounts, then BAC One-Elevens, the Fleet Air Arm Fleet Requirements Unit with Sea Furies, Sea Hawks, Scimitars and Meteors (I flew in one!), Airwork Services handling many interesting aircraft all on one side, whilst the airport operations have seen British United Bristol Superfreighters through to Channel Express's operations. I have colour slides of all these aircraft there taken from the early '60s to date.
