Has anyone read this book? Saw an advert in this month Helicopter Life - looks like a good read?

Read it

Good book, interesting read about the places they visit but not overly technical on the R44 and helicopter flying.

Hi, Tipweight

Sorry to hear about the delay. If you pm me your details, or email me at [email protected], I'll do my best to hurry it up for you.

For those in the UK, the quickest way of getting a copy is via the "contact Tim" page on http://www.uniformkilo.com.

Thanks for your kind comments, everyone. All feedback appreciated.

Best wishes

Tim

Hi Tango Victor

Yes, you're right, G-BXUK came back in a crate by sea, having been packed by Heliflite in Sydney, to HeliAir at Wellesbourne.

Next time, I think I'd take a bit of time to chill in Australia, then fly back up to Singapore, then up to Japan, then back through Russia.

That's another seven weeks at least, I'd guess. Anyone fancy it?

Best wishes

Tim

Great read guys, got the book a couple of days ago and am nearly finished it. Doesn't go hugely into helicopter specific stuff but is a great account of an amazing sounding adventure!
