Thanks John. Spoiler, not available until 25th May on Amazon.
Thanks so much for this - it's always very gratifying to have those 'in the know' read the book and offer comment (2 minor facts already need correction - a date and what happened to a glove....!!)
A number of Pprune contacts helped me with background information (as they always do) so my thanks again.
As many of us know.... pulling the black & yellow handle is just the start of a journey..
