New Haynes Manual - Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger 1 Ausf.E (Sdkfz 181) Model (Owner's Workshop Manual)

From their FB feed:
Compiled by Bovington staff during 131's restoration.



Tiger Tank Manual: Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger 1 Ausf.E Sdkfz 181 Model Owner's Workshop Manual: Amazon.co.uk: Michael Hayton: Books

Bit of Googling shows the author listed on Amazon is Bov's workshop manager - Pre-order time I suspect, though that'll be the second Haynes Tiger book on my shelves as I have the Spielberger printed under their moniker.
Might also be worth a wait to see if Bovington does an offer that benefits them more directly when it's released.

Haynes seem to be doing more and more of these military manuals:

Through the generosity of a member of this forum (thanks again!), I received a copy of this today.

I'm quite surprised and impressed on first glance.
What I thought might be a rather light survey actually appears to be rather good.
David Willey (Bov director) writes the bulk, and there's snippets from the likes of Mike Gibb (SdKfz foundation) David Fletcher etc., and an excellent intro from Peter Gudgin (As we all know, it's his Tiger really).

Looks to be a rather nice assessment of '131'; her history, restoration, and to an extent - how to drive/maintain her. Great pictures, fine illustrations, and all in all a really 'sensible' looking book. More of a significant looking Tiger title than I was expecting.

Not read it properly yet, obviously, but here's hoping the Tank museum churns out a few more of these - If that's the plan then this looks like a damned good start.

 

All finally read, while sat glowering on a beach in-between frightening myself with kites.

A rather good & solid little techie book on the Tiger.
Most importantly, a calm and modern assessment, which addresses assorted myths from page one and presents Tigger for what it really is/was - an interesting machine, no less, no more - hyperbole is completely absent, and the photographs of 131's interior, and notes on it's restoration and use are great.

If you're not a complete tankophile, and can't face the often massively expensive Tigger books that saddoes like myself tend to have indulged in over the years , maybe you're just looking for one solid volume on this particular WW2 'icon', then I'd heartily recommend the book - good stuff.

(Thanks Jedburgh! )

 

I really do think it's a good 'un, Tom. More than I somehow expected.

Now I'm just sitting here waiting for them to give the same treatment to
British Lights,
Crusader,
Independent,
Tilly 1 & 2,
Whippet,
Comet,
Cromwell,
Little Willy,
TOG,

etc. etc. etc.

I'd buy 'em all based on this one.
