I have original issue Handbooks for Rigid Airship 23 Class and R 9 that I am consdering selling to fund another project - as long as the price is right.

These hardbacks are the real deal and some of the rarest books published by the British Admiralty.

Both contain a wealth of detail including fold out scale drawings, photos and charts. They would be ideal for model making reference material.

Both are in good condition - especially for being 90 years old!

If anyone is interested in these rare pieces, please email me.

Original issue? You don't mean the reprints put out by Naval & Military Press in the UK a few years back? I have those and they're magnificent! Cost a mint to have them shipped from England though. I highly recommend these to any British airship enthusiast. There's more than enough info in there to make an accurate model of either ship.

Sounds like the original issue copies are mighty rare collector's items?

BTW, do you know if this manual was ever reprinted or made available for No. 1 (Mayfly)? I'd love to get that one as well!

Thanks! :)
