Hi, I'm the guilty one (!) who wrote this book. I too object to press sensationalising of certain aviation stories, and have done my best to avoid it herein.

For your info, these are just twelve of the stories featured (and in my opinion not necessarily the best twelve). Being charged to check-in is one example of a story which is given much greater emphasis in the real book, available here - sorry to plug it but I feel that perhaps before accusing it of being 'cooked and reheated', you should have a look yourself first.

There are 45 stories in all, which include the truth behind the Zambian space programme, the closure of several of Britain's airports, the only way to fly a hedge to Kuwait (by accident), the airport in Hyde Park which never was and the reasons behind the initial fiasco at Terminal 5.

Enjoy.
