Early in 2010 we will bringing you the Raid title Certain Death in Sierre Leona – The SAS and Operation Barras 2000. This was the rescue operation launched by the SAS (part of the United Kingdom’s Special Forces), to rescue a group of Royal Irish Regiment soldiers who had been captured by a gang of rebel forces. The rebels, who went by the colourful name of the West Side Boyz, also captured some WMIKs, which were being used by the Royal Irish.

On February 20-21 the Osprey New York office, together with our intrepid freelancer, Larry Weindorf, schlepped up to White Plains New York for WRAM, the annual aero modeling swap-meet and contest. Unlike other aviation events where the focus is firmly on vintage WWII aircraft and/or modern military demonstration teams, this show brings out a large number of WWI and golden era enthusiasts.

I had a massive response to my last post about what books had been reprinted and were now back in stock.l would like to say a big thank you to all the people who emailed me about the list, and I am sorry it has taken us so long to get this up and running on a regular basis. It will now become a monthly feature, which we will also announce in our newsletters, so you will always be able to keep in touch with what is back in stock, as soon as it is back in stock.

As I promised here, every month we are going to announce what books have been re-printed and have been brought back into print and are once again available to buy online. The Production team here have been working their socks off to get a very sizeable chuck of our books back in stock - 40 titles this month - and nearly 80 titles due in for next month!

I recently had the chance to interview Gary Edmundson, one of the authors of our Modelling series. Gary was born in Sunderland in 1956. At the age of ten he emigrated with his family to Canada. He is currently living in Fort Saskatchewan, working in the chemical industry as an analyser technician. An interest in military aviation led to building military models for a hobby and Gary is now a regular contributor to military modelling magazines.

I read today that the civilian version of the Osprey tilt-rotorcraft will soon be available to buy. So if you wish to deploy you and your family at the beach this summer in a way that gets you noticed then dig out that spare $18-23 million stuffed under the bed and you are all set.

Recently, with one of my typical flights of fancy, I started to ponder on some of the military sayings and quotes that have achieved fame throughout history. My personal favourites are:
"The sun will never set on the British Empire – God does not trust the English in the dark" – Anon
