Folks,
Not quite maps and charts, but I have a pristine copy of the 1937 Air Navigation Regulations complete, runs to all of about 30 or so pages --- bought at auction, including the receipt and name of the original purchaser, the receipt for the grand sum of two shillings and sixpence.
I showed then to Bruce Byron on one occasion, with the suggestion that the thousands of pages of regulations we now have, have not made any material difference to air safety.
In fact, there is scant evidence that the ballooning of the volume of the regulations has the slightest effect on air safety outcomes, except for stiffing of aviation activity and growth ----- if you ain't flying, you ain't going to have an air accident, are you??
Tootle pip!!
