AVAILABLE NOW! A new ‘Britannia Book’ has just been published. Author Peter Devereux has used RAF Britannia aircraft as the background for his novel. The blurb reads thus:'The Cold War lasted for 45 years. Peace was maintained by terror - the fear of retaliation. But each part of the RAF, the Britannia Fleet was one, contributed in some way. How is examined here with a close look at the flying of ten pilots who started their training in 1951. But flying is an inanimate thing - people are needed. People have lives and feelings - and intrigues - and sex. So, interwoven with the accounts of the flying - serious and humorous - there is a mystery …' A central character is a Britannia First Tour Copilot! This is just one way that Peter has captured the route flying days. At £9 + £2 UK p&p it is obtainable from Keyham Books - details of how to order here. |

| The
small publishing house of Keyham Books grew from a publishing frustration.
I had two books published 'normally', stemming from my RAF life and my ongoing
pastime of motorcaravanning, by Osprey and Robert Hale ('Tales from the
Crewroom' and 'The Motorcaravan Handbook'). I then tried to interest
many publishers in 'The Whispering Giant in Uniform', the story of
the Bristol Britannia aircraft in Royal Air Force service. 'Good book -
but too small a market,' was the cry. So, way back in 1996, a bit of DIY was called for! With the help of the right software, a scanner, a removable hard disk and a helpful printing company, 1000 copies were produced - and they sold! Buoyed on by this, 'RV in UK' was next, followed by 'Specialist Aircrew' - then 'The Recreational Nomad' - 'The RAF Britannia and its people' joined the list. I have also branched out into 'books' on CD. Detail of all this is available on the following pages (you can use the photos above as links). |

A
book publishing project with a difference.
There is a website which enables you to produce 'one off' books of a very high standard, using your own photos and text. It is www.blurb.com and these are six of the eight books I have produced using the site's advanced software - which is a free download.. If you click here you will be taken to my Blurb book page. On it you select a book and view the details. There is also the facility to preview the first 15 pages. Go to www.blurb.com and search for 'David Berry'. |
