Letdown: I didn't say I learnt to fly a Pitts with Alan Cassidy, I did my Pitts training at Sywell with Northamptonshire School of Flying (01604 644678)in their S2A. Excellent value good people nice airfield - (can I have my free AVGAS now)
. .As far as the Bill Thomas books are concerned, I bought one from Alan Cassidy who just happened to have a supply at an aeros contest several years ago, and another whilst I was in the states. I have bought several back for friends, and that is probably the easiest way. I know that the afore mentioned flying school ae trying to get a heap of copies from Bill Thomas and so you might like to give then a ring, or I think you can get them direct from Bill Thomas.
