The
idea for this, my first book, stemmed from the thought that folklore is
not dead. There are many present day situations where events occur and
their happenings are retold, again and again, until some 'rounding' occurs
and exaggeration creeps in. A ripe breeding ground for this is the RAF
flying world. This book pieced together many of those aircrew stories
and set them against the background of RAF transport flying. It was well
received: A note: Some of the contents of 'Tales from the Crewroom' have been incorporated in 'Specialist Aircrew' - which sustains that humorous vein. |

This
book originated from my own interest in this nomadic pastime. The blurb
describes the book thus: 'David Berry is to be congratulated on his new book. Not only does it contain a wealth of information, but it is based on good common sense which motorcaravanning is all about. Read, enjoy and have many happy years of motorcaravanning.' |

This was a very early Keyham Books project - in fact, it was created before 'Keyham Books' existed - a lot of lessons were learnt! The local villagers contributed their memories and photographs, which were assembled by the author. |

The text of 'The Motorcaravan Handbook' was modified as a script for this video, sponsored by Peugeot and produced for The Caravan Club. |

These are products of Keyham Books - a rather strange one. They were produced for Polish medical people and are research papers. They were translated from the Polish. This meant that editing, as well as layout etc, was part of the task. Only a small number of copies were required so a 'Print on Demand' company was successfully used. |

Since 1985 the author has produced a twice-yearly magazine for the Britannia Association - total to date - 40! The format has changed over the years but has settled to that on the left since 1990. |

This was the first self-published book - in 1996. 'The Whispering Giant in Uniform' told the story of the Bristol Britannia in Royal Air Force service. It proved popular and the 1000 print run sold out. In nine years more material had been gathered and this was added to the content of this original book expanding its 256 pages to 626! The new edition was given a fresh title to reflect much of its new content - 'The RAF Britannia and its people'. |
