- Uniquely, focuses on the management of airports to guide business
strategy (strategic, commercial and competitive aspects of airline
business) rather than airport planning and operations (Young) or
economics or marketing of international airlines (Doganis). It
therefore provides an innovative insight into the processes behind
running a successful airport and is considered to be the best most
accessible book available. - Fills a need for a new edition by
being updated to reflect the reflect the major changes in strategic
direction for the airline and airport industry due the most
significant global crisis ever faced by this industry, Covid19 as
well as technology advances and emphasis on sustainable
development. - International in content and case studies. - The
book is well pitched, practical and helpful to both students and
academics alike. It condenses information into logical chapters and
includes key information needed for teaching a module with an
Airport Management focus. It provides the perfect structure and
outline in teaching the subject form. - Excellent balance of theory
and industry examples. Some of the other books available lack
relevancy. - Written in an engaging accessible style, at an
appropriate level for UG students studying this subject for the
first time.

The Supermarine Spitfire is probably the most famous fighter
aircraft of all time. It is certainly one of the most successful
fighters ever designed. As a fighter aircraft it reigned supreme
and unsurpassed from the biplane era to the dawn of the jet age, a
period that included the Second World War. In addition to its
primary role as an interceptor fighter, the Spitfire also acquitted
itself with flying colours in the ground attack,
photo-reconnaissance, carrier-borne fighter and escort fighter
roles. Through a continuous programme of modification and
development it remained at the forefront of fighter design until
superseded by the new generation of jet fighters after the war.
"The Spitfire Story" is an attractive, picture-led account with a
short but authoritative text supported by a comprehensive selection
of 40 colour and 40 black and white photographs showing the
Spitfire at all stages of its life. Peter R. March's narrative
covers the background from its genesis, to first flight and flight
testing; the Spitfire in the Battle of Britain; the Spitfire in
combat during the Second World War; post-war service and
retirement; and how the Spitfire lives on in the 21st century (with
a listing of surviving Spitfires and where to see them).

Sunday Times Bestseller As quintessentially British as a plate of
fish and chips or a British Bulldog, the boxy, utilitarian Land
Rover Defender has become an iconic part of what it is to be
British. It is said that for more than half the world's population,
the first car they ever saw was a Land Rover Defender. It mirrors
many of our national traits, stiff upper-lipped and slightly
eccentric. The car has remained relatively unchanged for nearly
seven decades and has spawned an industry that includes dozens of
publications, car shows, clubs, associations and even model car
collectors who dedicate their lives to the Land Rover. To
understand this national love affair, Ben has travelled the length
of the British Isles in a Defender, spending time with fellow Land
Rover enthusiasts: from visiting Colonel Blashford-Snell, who
crossed the jungles of the Darien Gap, to patrolling the streets of
Belfast with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). Ben has
met folk who have converted their beloved Defenders into everything
from hearses and coffee shops to works of art and fire trucks. He
has travelled from the Red Wharf in Anglesey, Wales onto the
Western Isles of Scotland and Islay, the island used as a testing
ground by Spencer Wilks in 1947 to put several of the early Series
Land Rover prototypes through their paces. After 67 years and 2
million vehicles the Land Rover Defender has ceased production, and
this book is a fitting tribute to this most British institution
which has stood as a beacon of durability and Britishness across
the world. Every Land Rover has its own unique story to tell. This
is the story of the world's favourite car.
Dr Thomas Harrison Butler was a skilled, yet amateur, designer
responsible for some hundreds of classic English cruising yachts
which still grace our seas. Cruising Yachts, his design manifesto,
first appeared in 1945-the year of his death-and last appeared in
print in 1995. This long overdue Fifth Edition has been produced in
collaboration with the Harrison Butler Association, and is a
complete re-setting of the original text, drawings and mono
photographs, documenting in detail HB's approach to the design and
equipping of a yacht, providing an annotated catalogue of notable
designs, and including a biographical portrait by HB's daughter,
the late Joan Jardine-Brown. New for this edition are a modern
gallery of colour photographs of HB yachts, and a thoughtful and
illuminating Foreword by Ed Burnett, one of today's foremost
designers of yachts in the classic English idiom.

This manual covers the second generation Honda Hornet and CBF600
models which were released with four cylinder fuel injected engines
in 2007 and 2008 respectively. The engine is a de-tuned version of
that used in Honda's CBR600RR model. In 2011 the CBR600F joined
this model group, the decision having been made to re-introduce the
model some years after the carburettor-engined CBR had been
discontinued.
The two-stroke engine has been developed to a degree that was not
thought possible a few years ago. One of its virtues is that it is
mechanically very simple, which is a contributing factor to its
widespread use and varied application. Here, engine-tuning expert
A. Graham Bell takes the reader through the various modifications
that can be made to a two-stroke and its components to give maximum
useable power output and mechanical reliability. 'the words happily
avoid textbook syndrome'

'A soaring gift of a book' Owen Sheers 'Remarkable' Mark
Vanhoenacker, author of Skyfaring 'Stunning . . . a love letter to
nature' Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of The Last Act of Love The day
she flew in a glider for the first time, Rebecca Loncraine fell in
love. Months of gruelling treatment for breast cancer meant she had
lost touch with the world around her, but in that engineless plane,
soaring 3,000 feet over the landscape of her childhood, with only
the rising thermals to take her higher and the birds to lead the
way, she felt ready to face life again. And so Rebecca flew,
travelling from her home in the Black Mountains of Wales to New
Zealand's Southern Alps and the Nepalese Himalayas as she chased
her new-found passion: her need to soar with the birds, to push
herself to the boundary of her own fear. Taking in the history of
unpowered flight, and with extraordinary descriptions of flying in
some of the world's most dangerous and dramatic locations, Skybound
is a nature memoir with a unique perspective; it is about the land
we know and the sky we know so little of, it is about memory and
self-discovery. Rebecca became ill again just as she was finishing
Skybound, and she died in September 2016. Though her death is
tragic, it does not change what Skybound is: a book full of hope.
Deeply moving, thrilling and euphoric, Skybound is for anyone who
has ever looked up and longed to take flight. Shortlisted for the
Edward Stanford Travel Writing Award 2018.
In 1954, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL was unveiled at the International
Motor Sports Show in New York - the start of an unparalleled
success story. Victories in the 24-hour race at Le Mans and the
Carrera Panamericana made it world-famous. It also possessed
groundbreaking technology, including the first series-production
fuel-injected engine. Its elegant shape and futuristic gullwing
doors made it a coveted prize, symbolising exclusivity and freedom.
This volume has everything that is important about the legendary
sports car: wonderfully aesthetic automotive photography by Rene
Staud and archive pictures rich in patina, snapshots of racing
successes and famous owners, and interesting facts from the model's
history to the colours of the paintwork.

postbag are ever popular especially with the modeller. Look out
