I have both 607 and Dave Morgan's book. I started 607 the day I got it, and only put it down when I'd finished! It reads like a Tom Clancy, except all the characters are real people and it's factual. The sheer professionalism displayed at every level of involvement, but in particular by the aircrews, is quite simply inspiring.In the end, I understodd perfectly why they bombed the way they did and across the runway rather than down it.

I pick up Dave Morgan's book today, and from what I've read hear, It'll be another late night, especially as the All Blacks are about to deal to the Wobblies yet again this afternoon.

Oh joy! A good book, and a good game! I'm off to check the fridge!

Vulcan 607

Just started to read Vulcan 607 and I must say, I am unable to put it down.

When is the movie coming out?

XH558 could star in it, and thereby the current funding gap would be resolved

Good call 1.4G but does that mean we would have F.E. Scotty nausing on with "the engine's cannae stand it Captain" every time the throttles were pushed forward ?

Just a thought...

Guess it'll depend on how Simon Pegg performs as 'Scotty' in the next movie.


I would have thought the producers would play to a potentially lucrative market and replace LCDR Montgomery Scott with LCDR 'JC' Choi (portrayed by Lucy Lu) - 60 million Brits vs 1+ billion Chinese.

Lucy who?

This Lucy Lu?
http://www.lucylu.com/

or this Lucy Liu?

If she could get the other girls involved we could have Charlie's Angels Hit the Falklands in a Tin Triangle. It would be almost as good as U-571...
