Proof read it again and again and again……

Don’t you just hate it when something you should have spotted a long time ago comes back and bites you in the bum?  Whilst doing some research for an article about a mid air collision between a Meteor and a Thunderstreak I was reading an appendix in my book Swift to Battle Vol.3 and some photos included in the book when I noticed that the serial number I had used in the photo captions did not match the data in the appendix! There were two Meteors listed, two lines apart, and both with the code ‘O’ but different serial numbers.  I had picked the wrong one!  I proof read it, the proof reader proof read it, I proof read it twice more then it was published. Two years later I spot the error – doh! Ah well, better late than never eh?
