factory manual, making it an indispensable part of their tool box.

troubleshooting; lubrication and routine maintenance; engine top
end; engine lower end; primary drive, clutch and external shift
mechanism; transmission and internal shift mechanism; engine
management system; electrical system; wheels, tires and drivebelt;
front suspension and steering; rear suspension; brakes; body, and

There have been a number of books on the subject of Underground
posters, but these have mainly dealt with the large posters seen on
walls inside and outside Underground stations. However there were
also many smaller posters and these were often known as car cards
or panel posters and they were mainly designed to appear inside the
vehicles themselves. These smaller posters have not previously been
given the attention they deserve, even though the fame of their
designers and the quality of their design can often equal that of
the larger and better known posters. This book hopes to go some way
to correct this omission.

The District Railway was designed by a committee with impractical
aspirations. A banking crisis and collapse of one of its
contractors during construction created long term financial
difficulties. It was complicit in completing the long hoped for
`inner circle' railway that was a financial disaster and very
difficult to operate. Its directors were for many years ineffectual
and its managing director, though getting off to a good start,
became complacent and distracted and failed to pursue with vigour
the policies that were needed. Even the American entrepreneurs, who
arrived with the twentieth century, had their work cut out trying
to make something of a line that rarely paid dividends and had
never been far from bankruptcy. In all this, the railway and its
operational staff provided good and useful services to important
parts of London or the suburbs it helped to shape. Why a railway
like this found itself in such a sorry state is part of the story
covered in this definitive volume. Well illustrated in colour and
black and white.
The London Ringways were a set of urban motorways planned for
London in the 1960s and 1970s. They would have been the largest
civil engineering project since the war - and cost between 60,000
and 100,000 people their homes. They would have devastated the
environment and turned London into a car dominated city. This is
the first full-length history of the Ringways; what they were,
where they would have gone - and how Londoners fought them off.
Wayne Asher is a former journalist turned IT manager. His first
book - A Very Political Railway - examined the near death and
rebirth of the North London Line.
Newark Airport was the first major airport in the New York
metropolitan area. It opened on October 1, 1928, occupying an area
of filled-in marshland. In 1935, Amelia Earhart dedicated the
Newark Airport Administration Building, which was North America's
first commercial airline terminal. Newark was the busiest airport
in the world until LaGuardia Airport, in New York, opened in 1939.
During World War II, Newark was closed to passenger traffic and
controlled by the United States Army Air Force for logistics
operations. The Port Authority of New York took over the airport in
1948 and made major investments in airport infrastructure. It
expanded, opened new runways and hangars, and improved the
airport's terminal layout. The art deco administration building
served as the main terminal until the opening of the North Terminal
in 1953. The administration building was added to the National
Register of Historic Places in 1979.
In July 1962 Brian Smith joined British European Airways (BEA) as a
steward. In 1991 he retired as a Senior Training Captain with
British Airways. Brian describes this remarkable development,
recalling some of the many hurdles and adventures along the way.
The title of the book, Straighten Up and Fly Right, seems to
describe his ambitions. The adventures start with his desire to
learn to fly. His working life as a Training Captain with BOAC and
British Airways is described in detail. He manages to capture in
print what life was like during what many call 'The Golden Age of
Flying'. The book gives a detailed account of these adventures.
They may appear to follow one after the other in rapid succession,
and that is exactly what happened. Each chapter is laced with
humour. The adventures are all true, but you might detect a slight
exaggeration of one or two of the characters. If this makes you
smile, he'd be happy. There were two significant adventures that he
recalls as if they happened yesterday. The first was as a Flight
Controller in the Control Centre for the Breitling record-breaking
balloon flight round the world in 1999. He describes the experience
'like holding your breath for three weeks'. The following year he
was back in the role of Flight Controller for David
Hempleman-Adams' record-breaking flight to the North Pole by
balloon. As you can imagine, anyone involved with these adventures
is familiar with the 'Swan Effect' - serene and calm on the
surface, but pedalling like mad underneath! The adventures took
mainly two forms: Aircraft flying - as a first officer on a BOAC
B707 that had to land at Heathrow without a nosewheel - helping
restore and fly an Albatross, a 70-year-old amphibian aircraft - a
spell of bush flying in Rhodesia. Hot-air balloon flying - becoming
an instructor and examiner - flying in France, Holland, Austria,
Ireland, USA, the Artic Circle, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa,
across Australia and across the English Channel. Brian also shares
details of his latest venture - building and operating a Spitfire
simulator in his barn in West Sussex, to raise money for the RAF
Benevolent Fund. To date GBP100,000 has been raised. Brian has
decided to donate 10% of any profits from the sale of this book to
the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. The chapters have many
photographs and cartoons drawn by the author.
In 1982, at the age of just twenty-three and halfway through her
architecture studies, Elspeth Beard left her family and friends in
London and set off on a 35,000-mile solo adventure around the world
on her 1974 BMW R60/6. Reeling from a recent breakup and with only
limited savings from her pub job, a tent, a few clothes and some
tools, all packed on the back of her bike, she was determined to
prove herself. She had ridden bikes since her teens and was well
travelled. But nothing could prepare her for what lay ahead. When
she returned to London nearly two and a half years later she was
stones lighter and decades wiser. She'd ridden through unforgiving
landscapes and countries ravaged by war, witnessed civil uprisings
that forced her to fake documents, and fended off sexual attacks,
biker gangs and corrupt police convinced she was trafficking drugs.
She'd survived life-threatening illnesses, personal loss and brutal
accidents that had left permanent scars and a black hole in her
memory. And she'd fallen in love with two very different men. In an
age before email, the internet, mobile phones, satnavs and, in some
parts of the world, readily available and reliable maps, Elspeth
achieved something that would still seem remarkable today. Told
with honesty and wit, this is the extraordinary and moving story of
a unique and life-changing adventure.
Kevin's latest full colour photo album for us covers the period
from 1960 to 1999. Looking at the London bus in its environment,
the book includes over 150 good quality photographs from various
archives with informative captions. All but a handful are
previously unpublished.
