Yes Doddy's book is a great read. I met him about 6 years ago, he was living in Methil, Scotland where I worked at the time. He was a truly fascinating guy. He had about 3000 parachute jumps to his name. He described his first "zero zero" test ejection as being weird - normally he looked down to see the ground rushing up; here the ground was rushing away from him. I seem to recall Doddy was a bit sore about the fact he spent much of his time testing an ejection system for the "backroom boys" in the Vulcan, half crippled himself in the process - only for the system to be cancelled on cost grounds.
