Thornaby, 1930, saw the formation of 608 squadron Auxiliary Air Force. Remembered by some veterans as ¿the kipper patrol,¿ their job as part of Coastal Command, involved protecting shipping convoys, looking for submarines and defending the northern supply routes. Although their role was never seen as glamorous and never received national glory, nonetheless, they played a significant part in the defence of the United Kingdom. This book tells the story of young pilots such as Geoffrey Ambler, Geoffrey Shaw, William Appleby-Brown and Peter Vaux, and airmen such as Albert Guy, Harold Coppick and Syd Buckle, and considers how their lives were dramatically changed with the onset of the Second World War, which saw them cease to be part-timers and become full time members of the Royal Air Force.The book serves as an insight into the history of this squadron, as well as the history of Thornaby Aerodrome itself. It uses as its basis, a series of interviews with veterans from the squadron and presents their memories of squadron life, along with many of their personal photographs. The Kipper Patrol provides a long awaited history of a squadron remembered by many local people, and recognised by both the Airman Memorial and the replica Spitfire. It serves as a lasting memory to both the squadron and the aerodrome, and in particular, to the many veterans who so willingly gave up their time to share their memories.

Ayresome Park, home to Middlesbrough Football Club for most of the 20th century, will always have a special place in the hearts of followers of the club. It is now 10 years since the ground's closure, and it seems a fitting moment for the publication of this revised and updated edition of the best-selling Ayresome Park Memories, by Eric Paylor and John Wilson. As well as a new foreword by John Hendrie, the last player ever to score a goal at Ayresome Park, there is a new introduction and a photograph section showing what has happened to the site of the ground since the turnstiles were closed for ever back in 1995. An index has also been added for this new edition. In all the book is a comprehensive and fascinating look at Middlesbrough's history at Ayresome Park. The authors recreate great games from the club's past, tell the story of the stadium throughout its 92-year period as home to the heroes in red and white, and include the memories of legions of players and supporters who were the lifeblood of the club during the 20th century.A detailed statistical record of 'Boro's fortunes at Ayresome Park completes the picture - making this lovingly researched and written book a homage to a great club and a great stadium.

From one of England's most celebrated writers, a funny and superbly observed novella about the Queen of England and the subversive power of reading When her corgis stray into a mobile library parked near Buckingham Palace, the Queen feels duty-bound to borrow a book. Discovering the joy of reading widely (from J. R. Ackerley, Jean Genet, and Ivy Compton-Burnett to the classics) and intelligently, she finds that her view of the world changes dramatically. Abetted in her newfound obsession by Norman, a young man from the royal kitchens, the Queen comes to question the prescribed order of the world and loses patience with the routines of her role as monarch. Her new passion for reading initially alarms the palace staff and soon leads to surprising and very funny consequences for the country at large. With the poignant and mischievous wit of The History Boys, England's best loved author Alan Bennett revels in the power of literature to change even the most uncommon reader's life.
