Hastings Greenland Crash

The book about the Greenland expedition describes the Hastings crash. Apparently, the stunned silence after the crash was broken by the sound of Lt Cdr Brett Knowles tearing down a glacier on skis and armed with a screwdriver to start stealing any useful parts from the wreckage. A few years later Brett Knowles sent me solo as an ATC cadet in a Mk3 glider. We were all encouraged to buy the book to help pay for another expedition he was trying to set up.
