Aircraft Illustrated

[shuttle]

Just picked up the latest Aircraft Illustrated (Feb 2006) this morning. A fantastic article on the on flying Bf-109E (with a test flight by John Romain). Some great ait to air shots! It also has a good TSR2 article, an excellent Ray Hanna tribute, info on the 'Thunder City' attempt to break some records in the Lightning plus loads more. Some nice Sea Harrier coverage of the last sea deployment of the RN SHAR fleet and a tribute to the Viggen. This will keep me busy for a few days!!! Also a mention of the Corgi Me-262.

I didn't realise that Eurofighter had sold 72 Typhoon's to the Saudi's? I must have missed it in the Xmas rush. Will make any Diecast Typhoon maker happy as another scheme will be possible!!

Well worth a read IMHO.

Have copies Numbers 1 and 2 of AI which date back to March and June 1968 and were priced at 3 shillings each. (Lightnings on Cover of 1 and B17s on 2)
Mint of course!
Anybody have any idea of their value or where I can find out please?

there is a copy on offer on Ebay. Opening bid of 99p but smells musty and written on.
Mine are sandwiched between two copies of Mayfair for safekeeping!
