This is a “don’t miss” opportunity! Edited August 25, 200718 yr by brickhistory

August 26, 200718 yr Author Joe Public can take a tour: I had the tour, only I was lucky enough to take it on my own and without either PA escort of someone watching the clock. I particularly liked the ROLAND. AIR FORCE magazine did an article about Constant Peg this past April.You can read it here. Like all the others, it's a crap article that does little to delve below the surface of this fascinating programme. There is much, much more to the squadron, if only people would spend a little time talking to the players behind it.
April 15, 200916 yr Author Steve, I just borrowed the book from my boss...Mr. Jack Manclark. Spoo Thanks for letting me know. I hope that it was well-thumbed and tattered around the edges when Jack handed it to you! He was instrumental in the declassification of Constant Peg, and a key figure in allowing me the privilege of writing about the programme. I hope you enjoy the book, and please tell Jack I say hello when you next speak to him. Cheers Steve
