RE: [Whitley_project] Whitley wreck in Ireland

Hi Elliott,
 
I have my copy in storage as I am moving house but can easily retrieve it. I will loan it to you on good faith if you can not get one from Amazon. If none turns up send me your address details and I will forward it on. Beware though, it is a very badly written book not even proof read as there are many spelling mistakes. There is couple of photos of the recovery though including a punctured tyre on an under carriage and the unexploded 250lb bomb. The author John Quinn is from Northern Ireland so if you do a search on the internet you may be able to find out how to contact him this way.
 
regards,
 
Michael Coughlan.

Hi Michael

I ordered that book from amazon over a month ago - i'm still waiting
for it!!  It'll come eventually I suppose!  Can't wait to see what it
says and maybe track the author down.
