Primarily for general aviation discussion, but other aviation topics are also welcome.

Ah, any book I wrote would be a tissue of fabrication... mind you...

Thoroughly enjoyed Above the Law, wonderful account of your time with Suffolk Police and an excellent insight into the work carried out by the air support units, with the right amount of humour and some lovely asides on other topics. I remember several of your shouts from the news. Next time my neighbours complain on "Nextdoor" about the circling blue and yellow "chopper" disturbing their peace, I'll point them at the book - "read this".

Tick VG!

Just finished it - a wonderful read. Many thanks.

I have recommended to a few friends - mostly not aviators, but people who I think will enjoy it. I will add an Amazon review (as CCT) tomorrow

Last year, we lost from that cruel disease cancer, a very good friend and extremely talented colleague.

He was a wonderful chap who latterly had been a pilot for Dyfed-Powys police. I reckon his family will love reading this as a memory of that part of his life, even though obviously it's based around a different part of the UK. So I shall be sending them a copy. :thumleft:

RIP, DT. :(

The paperback edition must be selling well. Amazon, Waterstone,s, WH Smith and Browns do not have it available for immediate dispatch.

Believe me, I am working hard at getting the publishers to rectify that.

Unfortunately it will be a rags to ... oh, still rags, story if it's not put right soon. Of course I'm over the moon that it has sold so well that copies are like hen's teeth at the moment but I'd rather that people were able to buy copies.

I have a handful so people can PM me if they haven't got their copy yet and just can't wait.

So there's still hope. :thumright: :D

Maybe I should get my copy on ebay for a pound or two profit? :lol:

I've yet to finish it, don't want it to end really. :D

For that I can only apologise, they were a bit taken by surprise when the initial print run sold out within ten days. They're working hard to get it back in stock as soon as possible. PM me if you'd like a copy, I do have a couple of copies.

There are still a handful of copies in bookshops and it's still available for Kindle. Hopefully back in the big retailers in about a week's time.
