Our Times, The Age
Of Elizabth II By A.
N. Wilson
£3.99
When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, many proclaimed the star of a new Elizabethan Age.

Ours To Hold - Raf Aldergrove At War
Ours To Hold - Raf
Aldergrove At War
£7.00
Aldergrove can trace its history back to 1918 when it was first used for the testing of Handley Page V/1500s built by Harland & Wolff.

Closed not long after but retained by the RAF, the airfield was used occasionally before expansion began in 1925. The airfield was used continually between the wars supporting several bomber squadrons before becoming an Armament Training Station in 1936.

Anti-submarine patrols were flown from Aldergrove during the early years of the Second World War, mainly with the Anson. Blenheims & Hurricanes provided both maritime & air defence for Ulster & Belfast.

The Hudson was a common sight from 1941 & was followed by the Beaufighter. Together the aircraft provided an air defence & a coastal strike capability.

Product Description

In this powerful & moving narrative, Christopher Somerville skilfully links personal testimonies to present an epic which embraces comedy & tragedy, pride & degradation, close comradeship & stark racial prejudice, devotion to the benign Mother Country & a burning desire to see the back of her.

Many of the veterans had never previously talked of their experiences, even to close loved ones. 

They cover such topics as attitudes to Britain before & after the war, why Commonwealth citizens offered to fight, & how some volunteers were inspired by their wartime service while others were thoroughly disillusioned. 

The result is a rare & faithful memoir to the five million Commonwealth citizens who fought for the Allies & the 170, 000 who died or went missing.
