Well thanks Marty. Please excuse the typo as i rushed to do it on my phone and couldn't actually see what i was 'typing'. if you are interested in some aeronautical charts maybe I can provide some of those for you....

I'll call you later and arrange a time.

Its not my way to reply for someone else ....but in this case i will (Ians not feeling to good at the moment) Elijah, his (Ians) library is vast.

I have added a couple of things to it , but Im sure he had them anyway, and was just to polite to say so.

It would be cool to have so many books, perhaps Mr warren you should start a Aviation library open to public to come and read. But now ive got to go and read my online books. heres a dvd i would love to get but is a bit much http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Spitfire-Bluepr...#ht_2453wt_1031 i love blueprints of any thing a building or a plane as long as it's not a boat tongue.gif .

Maybe not a silly idea but only in the many years to come and maybe even connected to the Wigram Museum as a national resource , maybe not to take the books out but a source and learning center , course will require a Naval side and Army regarding the ships of war and armor and weapons .

Looks a great set on DVD plans and read on the Spitfire , not so bad at 120 dollar ..... Warships would be great , and the Carriers and even the breakdown and blue print of a Tank ....
