This title focuses on the operational years of what was a rural backwater. The years featured are from 1904 to 1955, although right from the start the owning company, the LSWR, must have realised that it was a line that could never attract business on its own.

The concept of mobile ice cream factories, having been brought to Britain by the ice cream industry, but by body-builders, Smiths Delivery Vehicles of Gateshead, is one of the most intriguing stories in the British motor industry. This book charts the roller coaster history of the Mister Softee brand through successive owners.

The Meon Valley Railway (MVR) was a cross-country railway in Hampshire that ran for 22.5 miles between Alton and Fareham, closely following the course of the River Meon. At its northern (Alton) end, it joined with the Mid-Hants Railway to Winchester, the Alton Line to Brookwood and the Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway. At Fareham it linked with the Eastleigh to Fareham Line, the West Coastway Line and the line to Gosport. The railway was authorised in 1896 and opened in 1903, making it one of the last railways of any size to be built to main-line standards in the United Kingdom.This informative new book contains the first full set of construction photographs for any railway in the South of England. Taken from the perspective of the surveyor; Navvy, his family, and the local populace, this is an amazing record displaying the impact of building a new railway had on an otherwise untouched landscape. The images are also seen in their original sepia form, without recourse to modern day toning. The 64 pages portray what is intended to be the first of three part work on the Meon Valley Railway. This first volume covers the early years from 1899 through to 1903.

In this new book, readers are treated to a huge variety of views illustrating numerous different vehicles from all three pre-grouping companies that made up the Southern Railway, as well as vehicles built by the SR itself.The images portray the coaches both solely, in various formations, and sometimes in their final days, stored or in Departmental use. Informative and detailed captions complement the illustrations. Liveries are also varied, red, crimson and cream, green, and even Bullied designs in BR Maroon.The author is well respected and will need no introduction to the railway fraternity. Renowned for his ability to locate amazing colour images, his books on Southern matters have ensured a wide following, and this is certain to be no exception.

In 1945, the author visited the Isle of Wight for the first time, finding himself captivated by a railway system at the time innocently believed to be concentrated just at Ryde.

First published in 1972, this reference work on L.M.S. Signals is still held in high regard by railway historians today.

As before we have taken great care to include a mix of material - listened also to the comments of readers, and included some new topics for the first time. In the September 2007 issue, the lead article is on the history and time in service of the ''Brighton Belle'', still the only multiple-unit electric Pullman train set in the world and which even 35 years on from the time of its last run in service is still sorely missed. Complimenting this is an associated piece on the re-signalling of part of the Brighton line and compiled from original Southern Railway source material.There is also a major photographic feature on Waterloo including several views from the Hulton-Getty collection - including Waterloo with semaphore signals but no trains due to strike action. The colour section this time is on the route from Billingshurst through Petworth in freight only days. Wonderfully evocative and including the unique station architecture on this almost forgotten route.In addition there is more from Hugh Abbinnett on his time on the footplate, rolling stock detail, and of course another superb series on civil engineering. The early days are not forgotten either with our regular ''Flashback'' feature. Finally a surprise - some very unusual photographs from the motive power department...... . Most if not all of the material has also never been seen before.

Perhaps best known for their well-kept fleet of AEC lorries and for their ''Fletton brick'', the London Brick Company of Stewartby and Peterborough sold its products throughout the country. Through both good and bad times the company serviced the needs of the nation''s building industry, firstly by rail and then by road. In this book, noted transport historian Bill Aldridge describes the growth of the company, its many acquisitions and above all its delivery services. To explain this development, the brick making process is also briefly explained. Coverage is also given to recent events, including the take-over by the multinational Hanson Group who themselves began life as a small haulage company in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.However, the second, fully revised edition of this remarkable and highly praised book not only looks at the London Brick Company delivery fleet, but also includes the range of ancillary vehicles operated by the company, including buses, fire engines, ambulances, refuse wagons and landfill site vehicles. This second edition also includes four extra colour pages.

The final volume in this monumental series, which records the grievous losses suffered by the men of RAF Bomber Command in the European theatre of operations during World War II, includes the master index of about 55,000 entries - the Roll of Honour - bringing together all aircrew mentioned in the previous volumes. The Roll of Honour provides for each airman; their surname, rank, Christian name, service number, date killed, squadron, the serial number of the aircraft involved, and the page and volume number where the loss is recorded.

This first volume will cover the aircraft and operations of the reconnaissance units from their origins in clandestine survey and photographic work over Poland and the United Kingdom in the late 1930s through to their first operational use during the Spanish Civil War. When World War II began, Aufklarungsflieger were involved on every front where the Luftwaffe fought. They were active in the skies across Europe, from Poland in the east to Britain in the west. They also played their part in the invasions of the Balkans and Russia.

Mosquito Victory is the final volume of the autobiographical trilogy which includes Wings Over Georgia and Lancaster Target. The anvil-top ahead of me was brilliantly white--whiter than a prince's pillow-case, or Caribbean teeth, or angel's wings. Pittam and I were flying at 25,000 feet, and it hung above us, dazzling in the April sun. Extract from Mosquito Victory.

This series has been of enduring interest over many years, and is still highly sought after. Apart from the obvious interest to aviation historians, many people researching family history find these books invaluable, as so many families had someone in an RAF bomber squadron, who failed to return from active service.With the interest in family history increasing all the time and with many now seeking detailed information about wartime careers of relatives, the series will continue to be used by those seeking to find out more about fathers, grandfathers and other relatives who flew with, and died in the service of Bomber Command during World War 2.
