Looking forward to this. Have never been in a fast jet, but have experienced most other types, but have witnessed a live, low-level ejection as a spectator at the Lowestoft Air Show when the Harrier went for a swim. (I handed my binoculars to the lady having hysterics next to me so she could see the pilot was alive snd waving from the dingy just a couple of hundred metres away) I have enjoyed JN’s Lancaster, Spitfire and Tornado as well as Tornado Down and Team Tornado (bought a second hand copy on a book selling site recently and found it had an invitation card for the publication party, signed by JN and JP inside!) as well as a couple of his novels.
Always found John’s books very well researched and written, with that authenticity that can only come from someone who’s been in a cockpit.
