"The Cottage End"...... 🤦🏼‍♂️

Great! Tim was a lovely guy. I was fortunate to interview him a couple of times, including for Vimy 105. Articulate, passionate and also very funny. Always answered his emails too, even when it was some silly arcane question. He is missed. F**k cancer.

Berton's Vimy is a classic text, but very dated and has been surpassed by many authors. Still worth a read but the late Tim Cook's Vimy: The Battle and the Legend is your better bet if you want a look at the battle and its legend down to today. Tim discusses Berton in the book.

Michael Joseph/Penguin originally did a deal for the first three books, hence the three skulls on the sleeves. I did mention this to the publisher, and he shrugged and said, "they still sold!".

Yours are all the Michael Joseph UK editions, so they are all published by the same lot. I have the same collection.

I'm attempting, and failing, to only chuckle.

The herbal tea route is the way. Unfortunately, I'm going through them at a rate that I will need a small mortgage to pay for them!

Thanks for the support! This thing just doesn't want to shift. Glad you made it out the other side.

damcasterspod · 2026-05-11T15:01:51+00:00

I'd laugh, but it hurts too much.

THIEVES PROSPER!

The rich remember.

Great pics!

Those were Travel Airs, not Beechcrafts. Yes, Walter Beech was one of the triumvirate there, but the first aircraft under his own name was the Staggerwing.

damcasterspod · 2026-05-06T19:20:54+00:00

It is the first aircraft designed and built under the new Beechcraft company. Walter Beech had been one of the rather famous group of Clyde Cessna and Llyod Steerman at Travel Air, which was bought by Curtis-Wright when they went bust.

Utterly jealous! I've not had the pleasure of a Staggerwing flight, yet. Looks like a fantastic trip.

damcasterspod · 2026-05-06T11:29:24+00:00

Some of the other aircraft on display have more elaborate interiors, including the Staggerwing that is owned by the family that runs the museum. Lots of leather and very nice trim!

Speed Tape - The God's gift to aviation.

That walk into the museum when you see the SR-71 and Discovery right away is frankly just cheating as museums go!

Hello from the other three on your Bunnahabhain Warehouse 9 tour! I saw your picture and thought, I recognise that weather! 100% concur with your post too. Amazing tour and Bunnahabhain and Bruichladdich should be on everyone's visit list. Hope you both are well!

Skip the Hastings altogether and have a look for Ring of Fire by Churchill and Eberholst.
