High Time

High Time is mostly, but by no means exclusively, about display flying, but it offersmuch to a far wider audience. Anyone who has ever had the responsibility of beingcaptain of any aircraft will recognise the challenges of decision making, both inplanning a flight and in the air, when events do not turn out as planned. Anypractising pilot who reads this book will find things to ponder and, through doing so,can become a better and safer pilot. But this is no text book. It is an entertainment – riotously so at times. Brian‟shighly individualistic use of language to paint vivid pictures is an entertainment initself and the pace of some of the descriptions of flying situations is compelling. Wesee how Brian, in the course of a long, highly individualistic and abnormallydangerous flying career, managed to survive, both personally and as a businessmanin a brutally competitive sphere. It is all told with humour, candour and modesty. If Brian was afraid, he tells us so.If he made mistakes, they are not hidden. If he did well, there is no bragging, morelike humility, but we get the idea.
