I'd forgotten what a great book it is. Also, saw an under-rated Czech movie recently: 'Dark Blue World'. Contains some excellent flying sequences; no Tempests 'though.

He took about 30 mins to install one bolt using a socket wrench from the biggest set of Snap-On tools I have seen outside of the McLaren F1 garage! Was it you? And I know there's a risk that you'll put me right but I think the DH Hornet would outrun the Tempest II.
