This book is 349 pages long with 84 color photos and dozens of B&W photos. It has information on over 4000 aircraft in around 700 locations throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. Whether it be in a museum, private collection, military gate guard, junkyard or even backyard, you will find information on the preserved aircraft, wrecks, cockpits, and major sections. The book is broken down into 10 major sections. After the preface and acknowledgments there is a use guide and then sections by geographical background. These geographical sections are broken down to England, Scotland, Wales, Channel Islands, Northern Ireland, and Ireland. Each of these sections are then separated out in alphabetical order by County and City/town. All known existing aircraft or substantial remains are listed with specific locations and whether or not they are accessible to the public. The two color photo sections cover 50 pages total.

From ICM’s website,
Since the summer of 2023, Leopard 2A6 tanks have been in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They actively participate in battles in the east and northeast of Ukraine. Some of them undergo specific modifications due to the nature of modern combat. Recent combat engagements have imposed new requirements, particularly improving protection against shaped charge munitions and attack drones. To address this, additional protective elements in the form of grids are added to the combat vehicles. Solid screens of various types are also used to protect the running gear. The Leopard 2A6 tanks of the Ukrainian army undergo such modifications, and several of these combat vehicles were seen in action in the fall of 2023.
I like the P-39 series aircraft as they are unique and not flown in combat as they were designed. Like a lot of early war aircraft, they were used because newer models weren’t available. As such, the P-39s flew in combat in the Pacific, and the Russians particularly liked them for ground attack. Like the aircraft, my experience with this model looks good from afar, but far from good.
