Description
In this riveting mixture of nostalgia and engineering wizardry, Peter Bunnett takes us on a journey back to his days as an Airframe Mechanic in the RAF during the swinging sixties and seventies.
Picture the sun-drenched skies of Cyprus in 1968, where our intrepid hero found himself at RAF Akrotiri, elbow-deep in the guts of one of aviation's most fearsome beasts—the English Electric Lightning.
This wasn't just any old jet fighter; this was a machine that could climb like a scalded cat, leaving competitors choking in its vapor trail.
Peter regales us with tales of the Lightning’s intricate systems, peppered with diagrams that might just make your head spin and personal anecdotes of his RAF days that add a dash of humour and humanity to all the metal, grease and nuts & bolts.
But wait, there's more! If you thought that was it for Peter’s escapades, think again. He’s also penned ‘The Avro Vulcan and Me,’ chronicling his adventures with another iconic aircraft that could easily make you weak in the knees. So, buckle up, because this isn’t just a book; it’s a high-octane ride through the golden age of military aviation!
