    I had not heard of Capt Brown until I saw a link on the BBC news website. Awe-insipiring.

    I can recommend his book. You need to remind yourself that it’s a true story – I don’t think you’d make up something with so many incredible escapes/adventures in it.

    Here it is on Amazon – Amazon Link

    Thanks, just reserved that at my local library. Large print edition, but hey, easier to read 🙂

    Can’t understand why he has been given a knighthood.

    Loved his story about getting away with pulling a loop through each span of the Forth Bridge in a spitfire
