Englishman David Hobbs - `Hobbo' to his friends and fans - is one of motor racing's most remarkable all-rounders. In a 41-year driving career he raced in almost every imaginable category.
This is a comprehensive study of every aircraft type ordered for the Royal Navy since 1908. It includes fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, rigid and non-rigid airships, unmanned aircraft and pilotless target aircraft together with many designs that were ordered but not built so that the importance placed on them by the Naval Staff or their potential technological impact on carrier design and operations can be explained. Every type - even unsuccessful single prototypes - is described; the majority are illustrated by photographs, many of which come from the author's own collection, and the fifty most significant aircraft have detailed drawings. The Australian and Canadian Fleet Air Arms operated RN aircraft types for many years after their formation and these are included together with other types they have operated subsequently to give a more complete overview. The book describes over 400 different types of aircraft built by over 100 different manufacturers to offer the most detailed coverage of RN aircraft ever produced. Research for the book took over forty years and reference material included Admiralty Archives and an array of material in the public domain including manufacturers' data, individual aircraft pilot's notes and a wealth of published sources. David Hobbs is uniquely well-placed to write this book having served in the RN for thirty-three years and retired with the rank of commander. He flew both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft and his log book contains 2300 flying hours with 807 day and night deck landings. He served in seven British aircraft carriers and spent four years within RN Director General (Aircraft) Department where he was closely involved with Sea Harrier carrier trials and introduced new visual landing aids for night recoveries and liaised with the USN on carrier operating techniques.
Does God still interact with humans today? Do miracles still happen? Can Christians tap into the supernatural realm? "If God were to show up in my life, what would He say?" "Why do so many bad things happen?" "Does God care about me as a person? Or is He too busy running the universe?" "Is heaven like a big resort with carnivals and fun things to do?" David Hobbs (Author of Out of the Fire, A Life Radically Changed) came across the surprising answers to these and many other questions in his journey which began as a stubborn attempt to discover God's purpose for his life and took him into the very heart of God Himself. Along the way he learned: 1. How Christianity is supposed to work 2. What is the "treasure hidden in the field?" (Matt. 13:44) [Maybe not what you think!] 3. What is God's reward for those who diligently seek Him? 4. What God sees as His greatest accomplishment for time and eternity (this will surprise you!), and many more But beyond all this, he developed a relationship with God that became his own greatest treasure and provoked his great-est desire: that others might lay hold of this same "Promised Land" in God that satisfies the deepest longings and provides the greatest challenge to any person willing to learn to Walk in the Spirit.
