One of ebays more expensive dealers. If you watch items he wins, you'll be impressed (or not) by the initial markup he makes for the starting price. If he doesn't sell, it goes straight back on at the same price. You'd be surprised how often some books go on before some mug bites. :roll:
Having said that he does find some interesting stuff (and his descriptions are honest), but it usually leads me straight to abebooks where it is invariably cheaper. Items like this, of course, are something of an exception - so you pays your money or you don't!

Dave - THAT goes without saying - first on the list is a certain gent whose
a closet Bristol fan - Now if Roger the Doger over at Kemble comes up
with some other stuff from the Britannia Societys Library AND the gent
who runs the Eagle website (an ex Britannia FE) I may be able to give said
Afficando some data to work with
Allan - Looks like I may be the only bidder that being the case Ill gladly tote the load to build update a database for the old girl.
Tonks - Dumb question - does the airforce have a repository for old manuals
like say....a Britannia Operating Manual and PNs???

Leif..
In answer to your last question.. RAF Hendon is (if there is one) a repository for flight manuals. They're not readily available but you can (I believe) view by appointment
