I had a creepy experience with "Freefall".
I was reading the book on vacation in Kenya a few years back.
As part of the holiday I was doing some diving with a sub-aqua club, run by an ex-Rhodie SAS guy who was also a sky diver.
He told me one day about having just been informed on the 'phone that his old buddy had stepped out of a Cessna over the Channel-without a 'chute.
Because of the nom de plume the penny didn't drop until I got back home here and picked up the obit in the ex-pat Daily telegraph.....
