The book has been fully revised and updated, and recalls all non-operational aircraft wherever they are to be found. It takes the reader on a county-by-county and province-by-province journey around the British Isles through the fascinating world of museums, military stores and dumps, to the places where geriatric airliners await the axie and into workshops where aircraft are being lovingly restored. Aircraft are traced to technical schools; treasures are discovered in garages and barns and as gate guardians outside defence establishments. Bruised airframes used to train fire fighters are also here.
