Friend of mine just showed me a passage from a book called 'Wings on my Sleeve' by Capt Eric Brown RN where he describes his first flight in a helicopter. Excellent stuff. He beats us all as his only pre-solo training was reading the instruction manual in the mess and a bit of help to start the thing from the groundcrew! Anyone else solo in 0 hrs?

He flew to Farnborough on his second flight, obviously dissapointed with himself for 'flying quite the loosest formation I've ever flown'!

Cracking read
