COMING SOON! Questing for Britain’s Ideal LIGHT AEROPLANE by Arthur W. J. G. Ord-Hume Scheduled for Early 2012. A surprise gem from Arthur about the early 20th century light aeroplane trials at Lympne aerodrome in Kent. Having subtitled the book, The Infamous Lympne Trials of the 1920’s, Arthur, with his usual insight leads us to the reality of their contribution to British light aviation. The Historic Railways of Old Rhodesia by Gordon Shepherd Scheduled for early 2012. This is a working title and may change but a quick read of the text gives a fascinating insight into the people and places along the colonial rail routes before independent Zambia was born. This will be of great interest to colonial historians and rail enthusiasts alike. Curiosities of Flight by Arthur W. J. G. Ord-Hume Scheduled for early 2012. Arthur’s many fans world-wide will welcome this exploration of aviation anomalies written in his usual whimsical and entertaining style. Titanic – The Norfolk Survivors by John Balls Scheduled for February 2012. A new and updated edition of the 1999 volume. Catrine Then and Now by Richard Stenlake Scheduled for March 2012. Not far along the road from Muirkirk (the first subject of our Then and Now series) lies the ancient cotton town of Catrine, about which Richard Stenlake wrote in A Lot o Genuine Folk and A Wheen o Rogues. Selecting scenes where recent changes are the most dramatic Richard shows us the company town in its industrial heyday and compares it with photographs of the modern, quieter village as it struggles to re-define itself for the 21st century. Windmills of Lincolnshire by Jon Sass Scheduled for Spring 2012. A companion to our earlier volume Yorkshire Windmills. We hope that our tributes to these graceful and vital structures that once graced our countryside will help to ensure that they will not be forgotten as so many of them fall into disuse and disrepair. Burns and Ayrshire by David Williams Coming in Spring next year. A new Burns book is always an event worthy of attention, which is why we are adding this to our ‘Coming Soon’ list well ahead of time. The make-up of the book is still in design so we do not even have a confirmed price but judging from the wealth of first class material we have seen so far it will be well worth the wait and may even run to more than a single volume.
