See your book, and raise you 10. ( been in my book case for 20 or so yrs. Found them in a book sellers car in Malaysia )

   Blimey Brock I've gained a whole new respect for you!!   

Now can I get you to go and put me in your Will for those?  Please?   

I can't recall how many I've read, but I know there were 104.  I vaguely remember borrowing one of the frontispages decades before photocopiers, so I could keep track of my reading.

For the record, I was dubbed "Biggles" while teaching out in Bourke.  Apparently I evinced a greater appreciation for flying than teaching.  I'd beg borrow or hire any locally hangared lightie I could get my hands on.  Being a relatively remote town, there were plenty of opportunities to rack up the hours.

Almost every time I try to use it as a pseudonym on the internet it's already taken, and I'm offered "Biggles 18" or somesuch.  So there are a lot of wannabes out there!

[Brock]

I read every one I could get my hands on, my mother used to buye them for me at school Fetes. I have no idea how many I read. I have been working with planes for 40 Yrs, even have a few hrs flying Hueys left seat.

I have read most of them, as the primary school library had them.  Anyone else remember Gimlet, who was a commando type that WE Johns had as a character?

Yes, I remember Gimlet, must see how much they are for the kindle

[Biggles]

They've "Kindled" them?!  I gotta get a Kindle.  The Kindle PC app just doesn't quite do it for me.

[Brock]

You can get soe Biggles on the Kindle, but havent found Gimlet yet. Gotta try another few search parameters
