Thumbs up Trust Me, I'm the Pilot...

@Blind Pew.

you wrote :I penned an autobiography 5? years ago...went through the self publishing route and then discovered that I would have to chop rather a lot because of the libel act...

Are you Baron de T*******n by any chance ? if so can I congratulate you on the best title for a book EVER, in my humble opinion.

I saw your book in a clothes shop in Skerries,(Dublin) while on a coastal walk and vowed to return and purchase.

I really enjoyed the story of your father and his friend cutting razor thin ham slices for the in flight catering , and subsequent short cut under the aeroplane wing:-)

But what really stayed with me as I read your book (finished it in Thailand this April) was that you never gave in , never joined the 'clique and wink society 'and stayed true. Really an inspiration for me, so thank you for sticking to your principles.

A Great Read, Cheers,
Fionn
