I'll have a look and see if its still here.

pm your address @Strummer I'll get in the post after lockdown finishes.

I used to have all his books, got them all signed at a meet and greet years ago.
They seemed to have vanished in the great move of 2020 :-(
Turns out my neighbour knows Charlie and featured in one of his stories es

That would be a good read, can I get it after strummer maybe?

Very skilled. Currently building 2. Never stops. Amazing.

there have been a couple up for sale here lately...might still be copy up for grabs.

Received it yet @Strummer ?

Yes I have thanks @Dundee. Working my way through it now.

By the way, Charlie keeps talking about 'monowai' as a plant. What's this? Is it a North Island thing? A mate who is a botanist has no idea.

unsure about the context of "Monowai" ...but it was an assault landing strip during D-Day

I always understood it was the bush that grows beside the Manuka up the Ngaruroro
Its green and about knee to waist high
Having hunted all Charlie's old country at school the name stuck i use it to.
Hopefully someone can tell us its proper name
My Google couldn't
