Lightning Boys - Richard Pike

Whilst killing some time in WH Smiths at the weekend I stumbled upon the 'bookazine'. I don't usually bother buying these, but picking it up I could see there were some really interesting flying tales about EE's finest, so treated myself!

Anyone else purchased/read one? Must say the 'last flight of the P1' had me scratching my head for a bit...!!!

35+ years on I still miss the Lightning.

Mortons Publishing have obviously bought the rights to publish from Grub Street. The bookazine is a full reprint of the original Lightning Boys book, albeit in the bookazine format. Paper quality and reproduction is first class making it well worth the £9.99 price.
Vulcan Boys is the next one to be given the same treatment, got mine last week from WHS, an equally good read.

Bought and read a couple of weeks ago. Interesting and enjoyable read.
