Yeah Fan are the publisher, recently sold the last copy and wont be reprinting.

Lot's of place's show having the book but when it comes to ordering they have no stock and cant get any as the publisher has none!

Publisher says 6,000 been sold since 1998 so they are out there somewhere, just a case of finding one, likely a 2nd hand copy but even that seems a needle in a haystack!

Have tried just about all of the internet sources such as Fan, Ebay, Amazon, Waterstones, Borders, Aviation books, White Ensign & internet 2nd hand dealers, all have drawn a blank.

Have you got the one written by Ross Watton from the anatomy of a ship.
Simple but effective.

Yeah got that one, but I'm told the book I'm looking for is much better.

Have already found an inaccuracy in the Watton book, it notes 809 Sqdn Mk2 Fulmars from Jan 1941, when in actual fact it was 800z Sqdn Mk1 Fulmars from 11th May-June 41, the Mk2's from 809 Sqdn did not embark until July 41 & remained until July 42!
