shortly after i took this picture he pointed to the screen said 'radar' paused for a while and then said 'has problem, does not work'
In 1976, the decision was made to ditch ‘Fleet Operators’ and replace it with a truly pocket-sized spotter’s ‘companion’ entitled ‘World Airline Fleets Handbook.’ This softback book measured 4.5” x 6.75” and remained this size for the next three issues to 1979. You will see from the image above that there was a variety of bindings available: square-bound, comb-bound and wire-bound.
1976-1979 WAFH included a selection of black and white airliner photos. From 1980, all photographic illustrations were done away with never to return, and the annual releases have from that day forward become very much a compilation of data. In my opinion, this led to them falling short of the quality of the competing JP Airline Fleets see here: worldoftransportbooks.com/jp-airline-fleets which always provided a decent section of contemporary postcard sized airliner photos (in colour from the 1981 edition) until it was cancelled in 2013.
As for Air Britain, with the new decade came a new title – it was shortened to just ‘Airline Fleets’ which it remains to this day. The 1980 and ‘81 editions retained the 4.5” x 6.75” size but the ’82 edition had 0.75” inches added to the height becoming 4.5” x 7.5.” You can see the difference in height from the image above. This size remained constant until 1986, as did the wire-binding, although it is possible that alternative binding styles were available.
The 1987 edition saw yet another increase in height by 0.75” becoming 4.5” x 8.25” and this size was retained up to the 1989 edition, although binding alternatives are proven by the fact that my ’87 and ’89 editions are wire bound and my ’88 edition is square bound.
Whereas the 1976 to 1979 editions featured photo-pictorial covers, these were replaced by airliner drawings between 1980 and 1986, but reverted to photo-pictorial covers again (this time in colour) for the 1987, ’88 and ’89 volumes.

I had lots of left over brown legs because of some changes to a previous minifig faction, so I got more brown torsos. I used the Brickarms XM7s and AC8s for their weaponry.

This little hut at the top of the incline was presumably for the operator. I didn't find any evidence of how the incline was powered. Maybe one of the electric winches originally powered it?

Herstandard displacement during her sea trials was 10,420 long tons (10,590 t).[3] She was propelled by four three-drum oil-fired Admiralty water-tube boilers, turningParsons geared steam turbines, driving four propeller shafts.[1] She was capable of 32.5 knots (60.2 km/h; 37.4 mph) and carried 2,400 long tons (2,400 t) of fuel oil.[3]This gave her a maximum range of 8,664 nautical miles (16,046 km; 9,970 mi) at 13 knots (24 km/h; 15 mph).
Belfast's main armament comprised twelve Mk XXIII six-inch guns in four triple turrets. With a rate of fire of up to eight rounds per gun per minute, her main battery was capable of a maximum rate of fire of 96 rounds per minute.[4] Her secondary armament comprised twelve 4-inch guns in six twin turrets. Her initial close-range anti-aircraft armament was sixteen 2-pounder "pom-pom" guns in two eight-barrel mountings, and two quadruple Vickers .50 machine guns. She also mounted six Mk IV 21-inch torpedo tubes in two triple mounts, and fifteen Mk VII depth charges.[1][3]
Belfast was protected by a 4.5-inch (110 mm) main armour belt, with deck armour of 3 inches (76 mm) over her magazines, and 2 inches (51 mm) over her machinery spaces.[3] Her six-inch turrets were protected by up to 4 inches (100 mm) of armour.
