Sold 34 so far. Thank you guys and gals. Feel free to PM me your review. 103_score_001.gif.0354254b719c2e1032fedf21c3779e8a.gif107_score_010.gif.2fa64cd6c3a0f3d769ce8a3c21d3ff90.gif.? No wuggers

I haven't read it yet Tim but going by the bits you put in on here it already rates a 10/10, anything on flying adventures rate quite high for me as I don't read much more than aviation stuff these days, only 9 more days at work and I will get my hot little hands on it.

Well Tim your grammar isn't to bad on the above, just proves your improving each day and the book has done you good in many ways.

 

The only grammar mistake unless I'm wrong in the above is you spelt grammer.

I got mine and read it all in one sitting. I had vowed to just read a little bit and keep the rest to read a few chapters every day. But once started, I couldn't stop! Recommended reading for all who remember the early days of ultralight flying. I read out bits to Mr Vizsla who usually won't read a book unless it is a manual, and even he found it riveting. The spelling is correct, it is just the word that is wrong - eg yolk for yoke, but that all makes for the "grassroots" flavour of the book.

 

 

 

It is a great discussion starter for accidents and airmanship. We've had discussions about how that one could be avoided, or if that design element would achieve anything, and why anyone would do that. Put one in your local flying school.

 

 

 

Recommended reading for young and old.

When you say in the interview that you like to "dress up", you do mean for flying don't you?

And I do like that nice big aviator's scarf you got to go with the boots. Genuine silk from Target I presume?

When my wife wrote and published her books, she was contacted by the National Archives in Canberra re copies for their collection. We can't remember how that came about but it might be worth contacting them so that you get your book preserved for prosperity. We understand that they hold copies of every book written in Australia.
