Good afternoon Greg – I am secretary of the 10 Squadron Association and 10 days ago I was presented with a copy of AirMan Missing by Doug Evans and it had also been signed by his brother John. I thought that I would like to make mention of the book in my Report in the next Newsletter but I have discover that it is now out of print.
Are you intending to have any more printed?
I look forward to hearing from you
Best wishes
Peter
Hi Peter
Thanks so much for your message and your interest in Airman Missing.
It’s great to hear from 10 Squadron Association and I would have loved to have had a piece in your newsletter.
However, at the moment there are no plans for a reprint – although I have had a great deal of interest in the book.
Because of that interest I am going to look into whether we can get a reprint or second edition done. Perhaps I could keep you informed?
I’d be delighted to know what you think of John’s story – when you’ve had a chance to read it.
Regards
Greg
Hi Greg,missed you and John and his daughter this year at the Escape Lines reunion,how are you all well I hope,if you keep in touch with John please send him all my best wishes and of course to you.Dave.
Hi Dave. Yes, I was sorry not to make it this year but I was working that weekend. I’ll pass on your message to John. Hope you enjoyed Eden Camp. Greg
Is there more that you can tell me? I want to get the information for a friend but the book is quite pricey – any second hand copies?
Hi Phil
Sorry I have no copies at all. I am hoping to write a new edition next year.
I hope you get some luck in finding a copy. It’s been a very popular book.
Greg
Hello, I looked at the price of nearly fourty quid and thought naa! but a couple of years later my then student son thought it was worth the dosh as a birthday present for his old man!
I am half way through and enjoying reading about the man who lived in our house and will pass it to John’s ex neighbour and to be read to an old time worker from Cammel Laird’s who lives round the corner : history resonates.
Maybe an e book?
Hi Chris
£44! That is a lot. It came out at £7.99 but the initial print run of 500 or so sold out very quickly. I asked the publisher not to run it again as I plan an expanded edition which I am hoping to write next year.
Thanks very much for your interest in it. I am hoping to see John soon.
Greg
I think the invoice that came totalled 39.99 which I slightly gasped at my son having paid but yes £7.99 is what it says on the can, I guess small print runs are pounced on by profiteers who whap up the price, perhaps you and Mr Evans can sign mine and add value!
I guess my son must have bought one of the last copies as my birthday was in February.
Say hello to Mr Evans.
Be glad to sign it for you. John would be best! I’m sure he would not mind. I could get you his address if you wished.
Thank you perhaps we could arrange that, I presume you live on Wirral.

Hi Chris, sorry for delay in getting back to you. I don’t always see messages on here. I’m in Cardiff. John is near Nottingham. I saw him at the weekend. He is frail – he is 95 – but he still remembers everything that went on. He is inspirational.
I don’t know if I could arrange for him to sign it, but if you are willing to post it to him I am sure he would try. You will need to email me.
Greg

Hi Greg is it true that John Evans has dies in the obit part of the magazine it said that John has died,if its true we have another great person who has left us.
Hello Greg. Stumbled across references to your book while reading about HX334 for my latest picture, and for anyone else who is interested it does seem to be readily available secondhand at more reasonable prices.
