Did you get any Aviation stuff for Christmas?

[Dave Homewood]

Just wondering if you were gifted anyhing nice with an aeronautical link?

I received the book "Peter Jackson - A Film-Maker's Journey" by Brian Sibley.

I have read but a few pages so far but it look great. On the back cover is a photo of Peter as a teen standing next to a Fw190. Already in the few pages I've read i discovered Peter's mother Joan Jackson worked as a foreman in the de Havilland factory and built Mosquitoes during the war, and his father served in the British Army in Malta for three years and then Italy.

I also discovered that Thunderbirds was peter's favourite TV show as a kid and in 1997 he bid to try to be the director of the live action version - they chose someone else and it flopped.

I hope there is more aviation content as I get through the massive book.

Yup, my wife got me the "Glory of Flight" 14 month calender complete with the P-38 Lightning jigsaw-puzzle included in it.
The paintings in the calendar are superb !!

I was stoked to receive the "Ghosts 2007 - A Time Remembered" calendar and a copy of the book "Clive Caldwell - Air Ace".

Although not aviation related - the case of German beer I was given by a friend is very good too! ;D
