I would be cautious with some of the information contained in the book as most of it was never cross-referenced. Gordon was a nice chap but took things at face value and there are a few glaring inaccuracies contained in it, but for a long time it was the only book available on the subject and used the best of the information available at the time, bearing in mind it’s almost 20 years old. I think I have at least one spare copy should anyone else require one.

A much better read on Manx aviation would be “Rough Landing or Fatal Flight” by Steve Poole, which would have been available at the Manx Aviation & Military Museum (The Ronaldsway museum you refer to).
