Mine arrived at last - vital for the collection but as long as you have all the Chronologs that's the main thing. BUK said Chronolog 09 is out in October.

I'm glad to have the Runway but it doesn't have a pic of the SOH46 which I wanted to drool over - only the Chrono version.

Never mind - will visit a couple of ADs on Sunday and drool over the real thing - and maybe a couple of SAs too!

My AD only has one (that he's keeping) and no sign of any more. I've been checking the Bay but none are appearing on there either (and I hate the new search function on eBay BTW!)

AND I still can't get hold of a 2008 Bentley catalogue either! :( My AD only has the 2007 version (without the Flying B Chrono in it), but has the 2008 price list!

You can opt out of the new search feature in eBay - can't remember exactly where the link is but if you do a search, when you get to the results page there is a link there which will allow you to opt out for a few weeks/30 days or something like that.

I agree - it's cr*p and I emailed eBay to tell 'em "....if it 'ain't broke - don't fix it!........."

Needless to say they were really concerned etc - blah blah blah.

Any how - the Bentley book I got is a 2007 version but has the Flying B Chrono on pages 63 to 65. Is there a new version of that piece or have I somehow got a different version of the book?

When I want a new Chronolog I just call BUK in London and ask for marketing or sales and ask for the latest editions of everything they've got. Usually delivered within 2 days so better than emailing them. This worked fine until it came to the Runway 08 but I didn't have to pay too much. Only seen 2 or three of these on eBay so maybe they are as rare as they say!
