Reviews
'...is generously illustrated with many personal photographs, and is an engaging and delightful read'. The Log, BALPA -------------------- `There are copious good quality illustrations - some of BEA Herons took my eye in particular. ...well written, with lashings of humour, and will no doubt prove very nostalgic for those many members who started their commercial career in the piston era'. Air Pilot -------------------- 'His accounts of planes and the people involved with them are both perceptive and amusing. Go, fly with Bill!' Scottish Island Explorer -------------------- `...funny, full of anecdotes and bristling with unforgettable characters'. West Highland Free Press -------------------- `...contains a wealth of stories from the hilarious to the heart warming to the tragic, and includes some of the pranks he got up to with others in his early years as a pilot. ...his memoir is a fascinating, informative and entertaining story...' Am Bratach -------------------- `...an inspirational book... ...an amazing account of an insider's view of commercial aviation in Britain... ...his tales of flying, initially mainly based in Scotland, bring vividly to life a world that is now long gone. ...should be regarded as essential reading by anyone with an interest in aviation, and especially commercial aviation'. Undiscovered Scotland
