Farnborough - A pictorial History: By Jo Gosney: ISBN 1 86077 8: A Christmas pressie from last year. Not totallly about the airfield, but lots of references & photos about the RAE all the same.
Glory days - Aldershot & District: John Hillier & John Sherwin: ISBN 0-7110-2956-3: OK, perhaps aimed at bus enthusiasts but the photos inside should also appeal to those who like to look at historic pictures of Farnborough and other towns / Villages in the 'tracco' area Includes photos on page 77 of shuttle buses queued up for past airshows (presumably they didn't put up a makeshift 'bus station' in those days!) Including a formation flypast of Buccaneers on one of them.
Aldershot's Buses: Peter Holmes: ISBN 0-946184-70-4: Probably even more aimed at the bus enthusiast than Glory Days but still some wonderful old photos of the 'Tracco' area.
