Destination's JourneyFirst flying on 28 December 1933, the Loire 70 was a long-range maritime reconnaissance flying boat designed for the French Navy. Seven production aircraft were ordered and along with the prototype served with Escadrille E7 at Karouba in Tunisia.

Progress on the writing of my next book is slower than I would like, but the cover artist is making progress. This is the first time I’ve hired an artist, and I’m finding the process interesting.
The image shows how he’s blocked out colours and started to block out buildings. I’m very pleased to note that he asks a lot of questions because he's keen to get the details right.
