Now remarkably in its 28th edition, ever since it was first published in
the 1960s every edition of Wrecks & Relics has been eagerly sought after
by aviation enthusiasts, restorers and curators alike. It is renowned as
the go-to source charting the highlights, changes and trends in the
preservation of the aviation heritage of the British Isles. With
in-depth coverage of more than 700 locations across the UK and Ireland,
it charts over 5,000 aircraft including their potted histories, build
and arrival dates.
Wrecks & Relics is the only publication required to discover the
incredible aeronautical treasures found across the United Kingdom and in
Ireland. It provides a trusted, comprehensive rundown of museums and
their exhibits - static or flying - workshops, military 'gate
guardians', stored and instructional airframes. It also reveals
redundant airframes being used for the most unlikely of purposes,
including for 'glamping' and at paintball sites.
Each edition is illustrated with both color and black and white
photographs and fully indexed making easy the task of where to go over
the weekend, or where to find an extant example of a favorite aircraft.
Whether it travels in the car or sits on the bookshelf, this new and
fully revised edition of Wrecks & Relics will continue to be the
most useful and accurate companion to the aviation heritage of the
British Isles, which will be referred to again and again.
