VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
Lovely book just published (July 2012) by Haynes. Comprising 208 full colour pages, in slightly larger than A-4 format, this book has a surprising amount of text for a work entitled '..in camera'. Aviation photographer and journalist Keith Wilson was given privileged official access to the Red Arrows team, offering the unique opportunity to photograph all aspects of the world of the Reds - its pilots, ground crew and support staff, its Hawk aircraft, and the precision flying by the pilots themselves during displays. The book opens with a chapter devoted to the history of the 'Reds', while subsequent chapters are entitled 'The People', 'The Programme', 'The Engineering' etc etc. The book concludes with a look at famous Reds locations and formations. The book is officially endorsed and published in association with the Red Arrows with 50p from each sale going to the RAF Benevolent Fund. The book loses one star - as a modeller I personally would have to liked a Hawk 'walkaround' and a cockpit close-up or two. Formed in 1965, the RAF's world-famous aerobatic team, the Red Arrows, has flown more than 4,000 displays in 53 countries. Highly recommended to all aviation enthusiasts!

I'm not sure what is wrong with Tony's copy but I think the photos are great and I'm sure a publisher with the standing of Haynes has a team of designers and proof readers to look for the faults he high lights.
A worth while purchase for all fans of "the Reds"

Some great photos and some pretty bad photos, most of which are taken by Mr Wilson (poor exposure and out of focus). The biggest disappointment is layout of the book, lots of the most striking landscape orientated images ruined by the spine of the book. Why not create a photography book in a landscape format or get a better graphic designer?

Red Arrows - all good
I noted that another reviewer said he wasn't impressed by some of the photographs in this book, he said they were out of focus, etc. But, a lot of the photos are quite old. Read more
