Those with an interest in industrial steam locos, or even steam locos in general, will enjoy browsing the pictures, and perhaps learning about loco types and builders that are less well known. Modellers will find it a useful resource for details, liveries, and weathering, and perhaps some unusual loco inspiration. I can see it being a good book to while away some lockdown hours, or as a Christmas present, and why not?

I thoroughly enjoyed the book as each photo gave you a snapshot of time to enjoy some fascinating vehicles, and images of people, fashion, shop fronts, buildings and advertisements. An excellent thumbs up to social history and a look at the particular time in history. Some of the shops now long gone and old advertisements on the side of buses that I hadn’t seen for years, it really did show how much we relied on public transport back then by the amount of people using them in the pictures. Now this isn’t my usual book to read but what thoroughly good book to read, I really enjoyed this and maybe I enjoyed also because my grandad used to be a coach driver too. A highly recommended read for all. 5 stars Read the full review [link=http://ukhistorianbendavidson.co.uk/a-transport-journey-in-colour/]here[/link]

War is still a matter of discussion as demonstrated by true or invented accounting of the dead (unsupported by Norman's accounts or by the men under his command) and even more so from a political point of view. The Malvinas for the Argentines are a kind of religion, but this is another matter, and certainly the huge number (for the few days that the war actually lasted) of fallen, often only conscript boys and with little training, which the South American forces had, plays a part in the matter. At the same time, for the British, the reconquest of the islands represented an important step in trusting a government in a time of crisis. Today this war on the borders.. Read more
