This really is a fabulous book, full of interesting information you never knew about the Moon landings, highly recommended!

Most of these excellent air to air shots of RAF Valley Hawks have been kindly provided by British Aerospace via RAF Valley.

	Those Hawks again, this time over the railway station and cafe at the top of Snowdon.
	A grey Hawk goes vertical over the runways at RAF Valley.
	Three colours of Hawk, the attractive red, white and blue scheme is nearly gone now, replaced by the gloss black, the air defence grey Hawks belong to the weapons training unit.
