Flying lawyer,

My post was about the fictitious Austin Jones - despite Tony Doyle's book preface, I don't understand why he decided to change names of those that died serving with the team.

I was tasked to produce a history of the Red Arrows within a four-month deadline, and 1969 is an important part of the story. I did speak to guys that flew with the disposed leader and they were generally supportive that he didn't get a fair crack of the whip, and that lessons were learned that shaped future team policy. As he led about 20 displays, he deserves his place in the history books.

There is much on the internet about the subject, so it's not a hidden secret. Anyway, end of subject as far as I am concerned.
