Hi,
Just finished reading Rowland White's book of this name - a great read.
I can recommend it as a good bit of Classic British and how despite a number of problems the crews pulled it off.
Well worth buying.
Regards,

Thats a book I've been thinking of getting for a while. There's an excellent cut-price bookshop in Cambridge, and I'm sure they'll have some copies soon.

I too can highly recommend this book.
Mate at work brought it me for christmas and I couldn't put it down. I've lent it to my old man now and my mum reports that he won't put it down either.

I concur........
My daughter, an RAF ATC Sergeant, bought it for me for Christmas, and I too couldn't put it down.
The real irony was that I bought it for her as well!

Hi,
So I guess we're all think of how to best simulate this epic mission then ? :think:
I've got XM607. Now, anybody know of a Victor tanker model with a visual central hose .....
