Magnum Opus. QED.
Now, now. This is my first attempt at a book, so I hope it meets expectations!

When I saw how far it now extends I was quite taken aback, it will be out to bleedin Swindon next
Seriously though, when I lived in Ash Vale and used to go to Bisley or Weybridge or Walton where the missus worked, and later to Bracknell where I worked at HRD for a year, in those days looking back (1983-99) it was so quiet and easy to get around, On a Sunday you could cruise in and park on the embankment and go for a walk, visit the Belfast or whatever, or we would often go up to Camden or sometimes Brick lane, always went in the car and just parked on the street somewhere.
I went back a couple of years ago (just pre Covid) to an ex workmates funeral near Ashford and when I said I was leaving the pub after a while to get back, everyone siad I should stay as it would be a car park outside....My God what a difference from when I used to commute in.
And that's before the having to negotiate imaginary boundries and pay extra.......are there warning signs or whatever, or can you just "stray" in and then get a letter much like a parking ticket?

Sorry I haven't commented until just now, John, but I have only just seen this.
The very best of luck, sir, although I'm sure that luck won't come into it and that the book will be a quality and worthy resource.
I won't be able to visit Kempton and funds are tight at the moment, but once I'm able to I'll buy a copy via Protek.
Off at a slight tangent......what an excellent read yet again this month on the Sussex Armoury sidelevers.![]()

I am sad that due to prior commitments I will not be at Kempton to see John launch his much welcomed new book.
I have changed jobs but will hope to meet John and buy a signed copy in the near future.
I can now confirm I have taken delivery of the new book and there should be sufficient stocks available for Kempton for whoever wants one.
I'm delighted with the quality paper I opted for as it shows off the colour photos very nicely.
I look forward to seeing many of you there.
Kind regards,
John
