In 1985 thieves broke into the flying instructors office at the RAF Jaguar Conversion Unit and stole both books.

I was especially pissed off since I had not yet finished colouring one of them in.

Per Ardua...................

Thanks Graeme!

Printing and scanning needs a permission from me Missus, because all gadgets are hers, and I, as a senile senior citizen, would break them. I bought my Photoshop with my mothers inheritance money, so that I can use .

I can do a quick standard one. I am looking forward to the flood of mails .

Julie gets home from work in about 40 mins. If she finds me at the computer desk with the empty bottle...."Oh for Gods sake Greame, is this all you've been doing this evening!?"

Hurry guys....

Resumed test flights in 1935.

The Breguet Gyroplane flew at 120km/h, climbed to an altitude of 158m, and remained in the air for more than one hour during tests that concluded late in 1936. Arguably the world's first successful helicopter, this historic machine was badly damaged in June 1939 during autorotation tests. It was subsequently destroyed by Allied bombing of historic Villacoublay Airfield in 1943.
Now you hurry!

And this was a silhouette already. Are you cheating us?
