The August issue of this magazine is just out in the UK. It features an article on the filming of "Darling Lili" by this forums' own Major Larrabee, and is illustrated with 20 stunning colour pics from the Charles Boddington collection. Thanks Major.

My Pleasure, glad you liked it. I thought the pictures should be seen by a appreciative audience, the ones in the article are but a small proportion of what we have

I am not sure how you feel about it, but loading a bunch of them to an album here would be super- even if they are low res to avoid any unwanted pilfering and re-printing of them.
Perhaps even, when time allows, we could get all of the photos that both of our fathers produced in the years that they flew together, and publish our own book. With the written history from surviving members, it could be quite an interesting read, don't you think? Especially if it is packed full of great photos from a time in aviation history that has not yet been adequately covered.

What do you all think? Good idea?

I think a Book is a Great idea, i have thought about that alot over the years and thought it would make a great Coffee table book. You know the ones we all have lying around that have great pics in them and you just pic em up now and again when yuo are having a cup of coffee and have a flick through.
Have you seen the article? the pics came up real good! I sent a copy of it to your dad but when i tried to send it to you it bounced back as to big a file!!!

Putting books out there is a family forte, as Lynn has published many in his career, and is still typing away in his free moments, using every drop of power in his laptop battery between recharges. Haiti creates a few challenges, and one should never take for granted the electricity that comes from a socket.

I think that Dad would be thrilled to pen his memories for everyone to read in detail, and others surely will be interested in contributing.


Stay tuned all......................something is brewing, and it will be packed with fantastic photos and facts.

Congrats on a great article Major

Although I love AM & Flypast I sometimes feel that they tend to focus on later eras (I suppose it's inevitable as aviation history won't stop growing!). However, the second I saw the article I had to get this issue!

Thanks again for giving us a perspective on what was involved in making the movie - if you guys do publish a book I'd certainly buy one
