John, I got mine through Kobo for my e-reader.

I've just finished reading this book and I totally agree. A Sterling effort from a Stirling pilot. Murray Peden's book gives a fantastic insight into EATS training in Canada. It has answered a lot of questions as to what went on at the various stages of training. It was also good to hear from a bomb...

I've checked the Heritage museum website and unfortunately we'll be there a couple of days early for most of the flights. They start in June. Damn!!!

We've finally done it. This week we booked our holiday in Canada. The first section is in BC and a cruise to Alaska and then off to the east coast. We have two nights in Toronto (28/29 May) so will hopefully be able to include a visit to the Warplane Heritage Museum (may need lots of begging and scr...

Thanks John

I've now come up with another problem. My list of exercises for the Link Trainer only go from 1 to 8. However, in EFTS my uncle has done Lessons 1 -14. What are each of the lessons?

Can anyone help with the meaning of "P&F" when using a Link Trainer. The first two sessions my uncle did on the trainer were marked as "P&F" in his logbook. He the went through the series of lessons during his time at EFTS.
