George,
Thanks for the info. I've just downloaded the book and look forward to reading it.
I remember that ditching - there was no PPrune in those days, so the facts were hard to come by, but there were some stories. One was that the captain of the fishing boat was.....wait for it..........his brother in law!! Another was that he had written another aircraft off not long before the ditching.
Hope this part of his life is covered in the book and thanks again for bringing it up.
