Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The Animals of New Zealand, An Account of the Colony's Air-Breathing Vertebrates was written by Captain F. W. Hutton and James Drummond. The book was published by Whitcombe and Tombs Limited in 1904 and appears to be a First Edition though it's not specifically stated as such. It's not an ex-library but is only in good condition and has no dust jacket. The binding is brittle, and it looks as if a previous owner may have done some gluing of the spine, and there's the name of a previous owner written in ink at the top of the front loose end page, then dated March 4th, 1905. It is 6" by 8 7/8" and has 381 glossy pages with an Index of Maori Names, an Index of Common Names, a section of Scientific Divisions, a Table of Contents, black-and-white illustrations and photographs throughout, and a couple laid in newspaper articles from the 1930's by a previous owner. This had to have been quite a nice book when it was first published . . . and is still a wealth of information with nice, older black-and-white illustrations. Thank you!

Located about 10 miles from Changi, it played a major role in the Malayan Emergency, and served as Maintenance Base for the RAF Far East Air Force (FEAF). 34 Squadron was reformed at RAF Seletar in 1960 with a fleet of Blackburn Beverley transporters. It was deeply involved in the Thai / Laos border crisis transporting a complete Hunter Squadron to Chieng Mai (1962), the suppression of the Brunei Revolt transporting troops and supplies "round the clock", the Indonesian-Malaysian Confrontation supplying remote jungle outposts, the Borneo Operation, and assisting Red Cross relief operations in South Vietnam. In 1967 Britain announced it would be withdrawing its forces from the region. 32 Squadron was disbanded in 1968. Most of the other forces were out by 1971 when RAF Seletar was handed over to Singapore, with the British retaining a token presence to 1976. This ceremonial Programme contains a Foreword by Seletar's Station Commander Group Captain T.W.A. Hutton, a history of 32 Squadron, the Parade State Order of Ceremony with Reviewing Officer FEAF Air Commander Air Marshal Sir Rochford Hughes, a biography of Hughes, and the Squadron Standard with notice of its Laying Up at the RAF Church in St Clement Danes, London. Among the advertisers are Tiger Beer, Mansfield Travel in KL, the China Trading Company, Shell, and Hawker Siddeley.
