I thought the paintings on the covers of the original series really dated them. And who doesn't love the AW.169?
This is a new edition of the first BSP. I will not be starting work on it until about mid-May, but I would guess that it should have about 25% new materials and I will also replace as many of the photos as I can. Quite a lot of new fighter stuff has appeared including the background to Eurofighter. Handover should be mid-August.
Presenting a coherent, fully revised and updated picture of British fighter development and evolution, this book lifts the lid on a fascinating subject and provides a unique insight into a secret world.

Ronnie ( Skyraider3D) and a few other guys can do 3D that is a lot better then the current cover, so I wonder why they didn't contacted...

Hi All.
Thought you might like to know that I have just completed the index for the BSP1 Second Edition. So I think it should be going to print pretty soon. And I would hope that the late April date for availability should be fairly close.
And, in case you are interested, I am just over half way through the full revision of BSP2: Jet Bombers. Not so much new information in this one, though there are some new drawings (and text) plus one or two that were accidentally omitted from the first edition which I did not spot in the proofs all those years ago. Sorry about that. Lots of new photos as well.
Very best wishes to you all. Tony.

Hi All.
I understand that the second edition of British Secret Projects I: Jet Fighters should be delivered to Crecy from the printers very shortly. Consequently, I have been asked by Crecy to be on hand for book signing at the Duxford Flying Legends Show on Saturday July 8th (only). If any of you are going to be at the Show then do please pop in if you get the chance. It would be great to see you.
All we need is some good weather - and fingers crossed that the books are delivered safely!
Very best wishes,
Tony.

Sounds worth getting then! Any new STOVL stuff, e.g. Warton P125?
