When young Vincent refuses to go to the shop, his mother comes up with a fun plan to make the trip an exciting journey.
This book describes the author's many unusual and exciting experiences over forty years as a military and civil pilot. In the 1960s, after a tour in fighter/ground attack Hunters in the Far East, he was sent on loan to the Sultan of Oman's Air Force during the little-known Dhofar War, where he flew many operations in ground attack, supply dropping and casualty evacuation roles in piston and jet aircraft. The 1970s brought six years as a fast-jet instructor in Gnat, Hunter and Hawk aircraft at RAF Valley and two years with the royal Norwegian Air Force on a Northrop F5 squadron. He finished his service on the iconic Harrier. Civil aviation brought a very wide variety of worldwide experiences as a British Aerospace airline training captain, examiner, test pilot and project manager in the ATP and BAe 146, including to China, Bangladesh, the Caribbean, Indonesia, Turkey and New Zealand.

A Danish filmmaker, under the apprenticeship of three Papua New Guinean master sailors, set off from Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea, on the 30th of August 2016 on a world-record circumnavigation of the island of New Guinea in a traditional sailing canoe called the Tawali Pasana. Over the course of 13 months and 21 days - and some 6300 km of high adventure - what became known as ‘the fellowship of the Tawali Pasana' created a modern-day odyssey (on a shoestring budget) battling relentless monsoon winds, dangerous seas, pirates and crocodiles. Prevailing against all the odds, the voyage generated enormous media coverage and inspired the young people of New Guinea to celebrate their extraordinary seafaring culture. "Sailing a traditional outrigger canoe around the vast island of New Guinea is a journey through time, across myriad cultures upon the far-flung seas of Arafura, Seram, Bismarck, and the Pacific Ocean. Thor's voyage shows that, in the 21st Century, there are still great adventures!" Peter Hillary "The very first circumnavigation of New Guinea in a traditional sailing canoe again illustrates, as my father auspiciously once said, "To travel, to experience and learn ... that is to live." Norbu Tenzing Norgay "Thor's adventure is an encouragement to anyone who - dares to do." Sarah Outen
