October issue "BRILL" British Railways Illustrated on sale now www.guidelinepublications.co.uk
Never miss an issue delivered to your door https://tinyurl.com/BRILL-sub 12 issues from £60
'BRILL', British Railways Illustrated focuses on the nationalised and early modernisation era of British Railways from 1948 to the 1970s, although any aspect of vintage railway operations is grist to the mill as long as it is well-researched and written. The camera, we are told, never lies, but it can be 'economical with the truth, so BRILL's remarkable team of contributors paint a bigger picture, with extended and informed captions bringing to life the classic black and white photography that constitutes the bulk of its content. Featuring a colour cover, 56 pages of text and, typically, 60-70 high quality black and white images, most issues include maps and plans/diagrams where appropriate. 'History with a good helping of nostalgia' is its hallmark with some humour thrown in.

This latest Warpaint title covers the Aero L-39 Albatros, a a Czech-designed jet trainer and light attack aircraft developed by Aero Vodochody during the 1960s as a successor to the L-29 Delfín. It first flew in 1968 and entered service in 1972, becoming the standard jet trainer for Warsaw Pact nations. With over 2,900 units built, the L-39 be-came one of the most widely used jet trainers globally, praised for its reliability, ease of maintenance, and versatility. Building on this legacy, the L-159 ALCA (Advanced Light Combat Aircraft) was introduced in the late 1990s, developed to replace aging Soviet-era fighters in the Czech Air Force, first flying in 1997 and entering service in 2000.
This authoritative and highly relevant title includes all the regular Warpaint features with historical text and images, a full breakdown of the aircraft’s widespread global ser-vice, and artwork an scale drawings by Petr Kolmann.
