Would just like to thank everyone who has supported this project, since mid November more than 2000 copies have sold which is brilliant and well above expectations which bodes well for the future.

Bit of an update seeing I have some accurate numbers, as at the end of January we had sold 2400 copies which was well ahead of expectation, a lot sold at Wanaka so not sure as to how many we have sold now so thanks to everyone who has supported the book. Have had some great photo shoots since the book was published, would have been nice to include photos like this one but thats life.  |

Gavin, thanks for posting that fantastic photo, and thanks for brining this topic back to the fore too as it reminded me that the review of your book I had started to write had never been finished and published as promised. I am extremely sorry about that mate, but i have just belatedly rectified that I hope on this thread: rnzaf.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=Books&thread=16340 |

Dead keen to get a copy of this,but just put in basket to get a price,$60 for book(no problem there),but then $49 shipping. Not a hope.
Will have a better look in the morning and see what I can come up with. Might get free post to my Mother,she'll just put it in an envelope,wack a $10 stamp on it and it will get here eventually.

How about one of the forum members travelling to the UK, maybe they can transport it and meet you at an airshow?

That's an option,if anyone is coming over. Only thing is I'm in Ireland,and my only trip to UK so far planned this year is heading over next Thursday for 5nts to take in the Jubillee Airshow at Duxford,and hopefully Wings and Wheels at Shuttleworth the day before. Probably a bit too late to organise now.
However,if anyone is heading over in the next while,and wants to take in Ireland,I'm your man,couple of spare rooms,car,plenty of local knowledge...

The book is big and heavy, with packaging it will come close to 2kg. So it will cost a bit to post at any rate.
