Hi there Patrick. The book is due for printing and has to be ready in September. I will keep you posted.
Excellent. If there's anything I can do to help you promote/sell it, I'd be happy to help.
Je hebt echt prachtige foto's! Houden zo! Een eigen luchtvaartboek? Wel laat me weten wanneer het verkrijgbaar is in België ;-)
