Bloody technology! Here I go buying John Deakin's book 'Full Throttle' in hardback form and now I see it's out in ebook version for a quarter of the price!
(Mind you I think there may have been a Jabba-levy on my hardback copy to finance the Vin Rouge refurbishment fund.)
Some of you who often read P-Prune will be familiar with the name John Deakin. Many of those who attended Advanced Pilots Seminars will have been lucky enough to meet this very knowledgable and interesting bloke. By the time he retired from JAL a few years ago he was the highest time 747 captain in the world.
I can honestly say that when I read the book I couldn't put it down. I can't recall any other book that made me break out in a sweat like this one, as I read of some of the hair-raising situations that John found himself in. It should be compulsory for anyone contemplating scud-running to read his adventures in South America. I adopted the brace position just reading it (much to the puzzlement of Mrs RA)
