A second hand read

Hurry, they're nearly all gone!

The Medway Queen Visitor Centre has a number of second hand maritime books for sale but they are going fast. If you are interested get down there on Saturday and take a look before they sell out!

I was lucky a couple of weeks ago and bought this copy of A. D. Devine's book "Dunkirk" published in 1945 in "conformity with the authorised economy standards". No illustrations but a fantastically detailed work containing multiple references to HMS Medway Queen and to HMS Queen of Thanet (another NMSPCo paddler) among many others. Once I have finished the book I'll put a piece together for Full Ahead.

Medway Queen West (Reading Support Group) have also received a donation of railway books including early back numbers of the "Southern Way" series and a number of similar titles. These will be on sale at the Basingstoke model railway show at the weekend but if you are interested in these email [email protected] for more details. These are in almost "as new" condition and have been priced at a bit below half the cover price. If you are interested in Southern area railways get in touch ASAP!
