• Touring and racing (de Havilland Leopard Moth): “We both shouted with delight when the waves pounding the sheer cliffs of the Isle of Man first showed up, and we did a ninety-degree turn over the lighthouse to cross the finishing line at Douglas.”
• Baptism of fire (Arrow Active Mk1): “I breathed a sigh of relief when the inferno passed under my feet, so close that I could hear the flames crackle and roar like a power-driven forge.”
• Taking a ducking (Miles Hawk): “The instant the aircraft touched the water it was like hitting a solid concrete wall. I shot from my comfortable seat like a rocket.”
• Into war (Vickers-Armstrong and Supermarine): “I was no stranger to the sea and all its various moods, but I had a great deal to learn when testing aircraft in turbulent conditions of high winds and foaming waves.”
• Testing years (Spitfire and Lancaster): “I was making notes on my knee pad as I dived steeply through a shallow layer of stratus when suddenly oil and glycol spewed over the windscreen, with the engine vibrating so severely that it could wrench out of the frame at any second.”
• Crocodiles at dusk (de Havilland Dove): “The possibility of crashing on top of impenetrable jungle with no hope of rescue or of avoiding the swarms of ants, or even worse to land on one of the numerous sand islands in the middle of a crocodile-infested river, was something I dared not contemplate.”
