I am just curious if any forum members have any issues of Profile Publications. These little red & white covers were printed in the UK back in the early to mid 1960s. Each booklet covers and individual aircraft, and make for some fun reading. I have 18 different booklets and still adding to my selection. So just wondering if any of the forum members have any of these.

A few more issues.

Nice collection. A major Boston used bookstore used to have a ton of these (ca. 10 years ago). I always looked but never bought. They were a bit pricey ($5-10) and my money always found another set of books.

I'm glad you have them; they suit your interests very well.

I remember seeing these in hobby shops when I was a kid. Of these I have found a couple in flea markets, one in a yard sale, but most have come via eBay.

Cruv', I've seen those booklets, but MANY, MANY years ago.

I don't know if they're similar to the one's I'm about to post a (very) rough 'snapped' picture of.... ??????????

But, they certainly look similar in format.....albeit about 10 - 15 years newer (?)

The few I have were 'Ex' Royal Air Force museum (stock), at Hendon,
that had been transferred/sold to the Mosquito Museum at St.Albans in Hertfordshire.

I was visiting the Mosquito Museum on my Z.1000-J, so I didn't have any luggage-space - therefore I was selective about which 'volumes' I picked up.......

They were only 15p each !!!!!!!!! I only bought 11 of 'em. Very detailed & I like 'em

NOT SURE IF THEY'RE THE SAME LAYOUT AS YOURS THOUGH ??????????

They're 12/24 page booklets that merely cover 'colour-schemes' - 'markings' - & Air Ministry 'directives', concerning details & dates of orders issued regarding 'official' changes of the above.........

I was using those to quote from recently, in answer to 'Sky-Buffalo's request, about "fighters with Yellow-wing-stripes" in the IXO thread.

I'll list the volumes I've got (or take a BETTER pic') if neccessary (?)

The rarer ones, are on P.38's, Aircobra's, Mohawk's, Meteors & Defiants, etc......

They're called "Camouflage & Markings" by Ducimus Books, London. (1970's ?)

The earlier printed ones, ALSO happen to have that 'Red/Cerise' style covers, which is WHY I wondered if they are similar ??????

I have just bought 2 of these off ebay at a Dollar each.

The ones you have look a little bit more up scale and I have not seen that style before. You definitely have a nice selection too.

You found a pretty good deal. They usually go for around 4 to 5 dollars and issue.
