Interesting links !
Thank you Nick.
You are helping a LOT.
Excellent Orwell1984 - that was the basic concept behind these books.
Unfortunately that is all I can remember except that I enjoyed reading them.
I remembered this book again upon recently reading the Spitfire floatplane tests in Egypt .
"During training on the Egyptian lake, the pilots found that the floats leaked more than hoped and the aircraft had to be hauled out of the water to allow the floats to drain."

Any further links-ideas will be appreciated.
