During happy times with the Khormaksar Kids 65 years ago I used to devour the copies of Tee Emm brought home by my father, together with other publications and aircraft recognition cards which I still have. His intention was to distract me from making a pestilential nuisance of ourselves around the station; it worked, some of the time. Looking back, those old publications remain superbly written examples of clarity and brevity.

The other Kids enjoyed Dandy and Beano but I reckoned Tee Emm, the pilot training manual AP129 and the Bristol Brigand maintenance AP would be more useful when I was old enough to acquire my Lancaster. And they say today's children have problems ... being deprived of said Lancaster has had a lasting effect on me, I'm considering claiming against someone or something
