Sweet Home Hinton Ampner – Charlie Flindt
Charlie and Hazel Flindt farm 920 acres of heavy land on the National Trust-owned estate at Hinton Ampner in Hampshire. In 2015, Charlie decided that the time was right to record, in the finest detail, a year on a normal, non-organic, non-rare breed farm – the sort of farm that forms the vast majority of the countryside, and feeds an even higher proportion of the population. The result is a comprehensive daily record of weather, farm activities, band rehearsals, gruesome medical matters, rural crime, and, of course, Tuesday nights in the Flowerpots pub. A farm diary like you’ve never read before.
Stay Safe my Grenadier – Stephen Pearmain ISBN 9781912821235 £12.99
An old suitcase, 500 letters. A true love.
In 2013, Stephen Pearmain went up to his loft and rediscovered his great-grandmother Phine’s suitcase. Inside, were an amazing collection of letters, postcards and photos sent between her and her ‘darling Leslie’. The letters, starting in 1914, record their lives during World War One, as Leslie fights in the trenches and dodges bullets, and Phine gets by working in the munitions factory and sewing shirts.
These letters are not only a valuable record of everyday life during this time, but are also testament to a romance that survived the brutal Great War and beyond. available from the author’s website click here
Aerocar: A Portsmouth venture, embraced by an Indian Maharajah – Christopher Balfour ISBN 9781912821181
Against the backdrop of war and the break-up of the British Empire, this book explores how a team of British entrepreneurs battled to develop a commercially viable aircraft for the post-war years.
Lionel Balfour and his colleague, Francis Luxmoore, sought to develop a radical aeroplane to challenge the cumbersome pre-war aircraft that were available in the 1930s. With convenience and comfort in mind, the Aerocar prototype G-AGTG was tested and orders started rolling in. All they needed to do was finance it. Using previously unseen documents, and notes from his father’s archives, Christopher Balfour tells the story of this very British endeavour.
