Hi!
 
Just wondered if anyone had the above book, which is an account of the events leading up to and after the crash of BA38, the 777 that crashed at LHR last year, written by the Captain himself?
 
 
Bit pricy for a book, but am thinking about getting it.  It was a fellow club member at ESGC on Saturday that told me about it.
Kind regards,
Tom

That pilot deserves a medal. fantastic piece of flying, A few minutes earlier and that plate would have hit my old house at Hounslow West ! I used to live right under the approach path for 27L !! scary!

My dad's just got home and has bought me "Fly By Wire", similar book but on US Air 1549 on the Hudson.  Should be a good read!
Kind regards,
Tom
