I have the 6 Group volume in this series - it's basically a diary of events with no new insights. I'll get Patrick Otter's volume though - I enjoyed his earlier 1 Group histories,

Richard,

Yes more of a diary of events, but that’s what Chris set out to achieve.

I have all the volumes to date, his 1 Group volume is out soon. They are more a reference book than bed time reading and I am sure Chris will agree.

Back to work :(
