Thanks for the offer. The replies above have re-assured me that he's just a busy chap who doesn't always get to the phone in time!
I'll give it a little while yet, but if I haven't heard anything in a few weeks I might just take you up on your kind offer!
BV:ok:

It's arrived!
 

Thank God for that.
It arrived a couple of days ago and a very good job he's made of it too!
Worth the money for anyone else who's thinking of having it done.

Old Style Logbook Help
 

I know this question has been asked several times before, however I have not found a recent post, so am trawling for assistance.

Does anyone know of anywhere/anyone that still has an old style F414 RAF Logbook, available? I am after one that was issued before the page sizes changed (I believe pre 1998). Happy to make a contribution if required as I am keen to ensure that I can get a reasonable binding job done. Some spare old section 5 pages would work if anyone knows where you can get them from.

Any help/steers gratefully received

At the risk of repeating old requests, has anyone had any contact with the elusive R J Bond recently? He's had my logbook for a long time, I need it back very soon and cannot track him down by any means!

Thanks for any info...:ugh:

JS Wilson & Sons in Cambridge.
I've heard he can also recreate the whole cover to include Pilots' wings (instead of crest)and one's name embossed in gold.
I've got photos of mates logbook somewhere on FB. I'll post if I can find it.

"anyone had any contact with the elusive R J Bond recently"

For what its worth, that workshop at Stoke-sub-Hamdon is five minutes down the A303 from Yeovilton. There must be readers of this who live close by



R J Bond Bookbinding
14 North St Work Shops
Stoke-Sub-Hamdon
Somerset
TA14 6QR

note two listed phone numbers
0843 262 7788
01935 827762

That's on my way to work. If anyone needs a visit, PM me and I'll try and arrange it - though perhaps not at 5am on the way to an early report! As it happens, I have 2 logbooks I need binding, so will probably drop in anyway.

R J Bond did mine 2 years ago. I was without my logbook for 5 months!! Needless to say the Sqn did not appreciate him taking his time to do a good job. I had to resort to writing him letters begging for it back because he never answered the phone. When I did eventually get it back I must say he did a brilliant job, but it was a rather long time! I think it cost me £70.

Good luck
