India 4 2 you are welcome, his books are worth reading although I doubt whether you will get a copy of his Concorde stick and rudder book (bit specialised). He changed Concorde procedures as he realised that flying around at 250 knots wasn’t the best idea when minimum drag speed was closer to 400.
I managed to spend some time with Mike and pick his brain which gave some interesting insights to Stan Key, the Heathrow fly by (he had a run in with Walter Mitty character who ordered the prosecution and was one of my early instructors) and some paragliding stories..he worked and flew with the World paragliding champion including doing translation work for the Swiss manufacturer. Clever modest bloke.
