Christoffer Lindelav Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Sorry but it says "i lager: nej". That means not in stock. I've been looking for this book myself but it's out of stock everywhere it seems. Derek B, Landrotten Highlander and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvanroy Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I've been interested in getting the Saab volumes of the Nordic Airpower series for quite a while. They are indeed out of print, and the Viggen tome is unavailable at Rebell, but when I enquired about the book I got the following reply from Max Nykvist: "I am afraid that the book is sold out at the publisher. We are working on a solution to make a re-print, but it may take a while. I will record your interest and get back to you later." So, for anyone wanting any of these books, it may pay off to get in touch with Rebell and indicate your interest. Rebell still does have the Lansen volume in stock. When it comes to the Viggen, there is also the AirDoc publication by the same author which, while not as extensive as the Nordic Airpower volume, nevertheless is pretty nice and worth having in my opinion.

My wife (of mainly Dutch heritage) doesn't catch a lot of what is being said by the Scottish guests on the mostly Brit shows we watch. Guests like Iain Sterling's & especially Kevin Bridges brogue is SO thick I catch a lot of "what did he say?"s Being a yank I still dont catch it all, but easier for me than her.

Landrotten Highlander Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Long time ago I worked in a Scottish call centre and had to deal with an Engineer up north (Aberdeen area). Could not understand a single word of what he said. Immediately after I spoke to his supervise and I explained I could not understand what he said. The answer form the supervisor: Nae worries lad, neither can I...

Out2gtcha Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 We visited my relatives in East Kilbride when I was a kid many a time, and my dads uncle would always wave good buy to us with a rousing "Lang mae yer lum reek!" I always thought it was some weird way of him telling my dad that he stunk for some reason.............until I was old enough to start going to highland games here in the US, and figured out he was just telling him to "live long and prosper" in nerd terms. Hahaha, good times. Scotsman and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Oh, memories of our trip to Scotland! Actually, we did pretty good understanding most people. We definitely benefitted by all the Brit shows we watched. We kind of blew away a guide we hired for a trip through the Highlands when we asked to go by where they filmed Monarch of the Glen. He couldn't believe we knew about that. Scotsman and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
