Default Jochen Vollert's book

Clive -
In light of what you say I am glad I bought a copy.

Shame it's out of print.

Great Hornet shots. Really looks like a clasic machine from a different era and quite unlike the Pigs - more reminiscent of Cold War, or Thunderbirds (in all seriousness - I think Thunderbirds captures '60s technology & design concepts quitewell - spaceships with interiors like V-bombers - and the Hornet is about as crazy a machine on any of those '60s shows)

But I like the early development stuff & soft-skin chapters best. Love the real early prototype with step-side body off a Commer Superpoise pick-up.

Tom
