Book Reviews
(Correction - in NL.65 change TAH Issue 44 to Issue 41.) In Issue
42 the Hawk is included in Prof Keith Hayward’s article ‘Selling to
Saddam’ ( known at Kingston as Project Saad 25), as is the sale of
Sopwith Babies to the Chilean navy. In Issue 43 Keith Hayward tells the
story of Teddy Petter’s single-seat Gnat light fighter including a very
convincing “colourised” photograph of the Midge on the front cover; and
Chris Gibson writes about naming the Nimrod MR3, a project of interest
to Farnborough (ex Kingston) engineers.
