    Hi Tony, love the book. So glad that all the navy lads got the recognition they deserved from the Falklands, if a little late. keep writing! All the best from a fellow ex-serviceman.

    Your dead right about the aberdeen bit and getting offshore!!! Dont know anyone do you??? I have been stuck at home since November with no such look! So fingers crossed for me also; I hope the book works out well for you, i'm sure it will, you've sold one to me anyway! I wont pass the next one on Tony, then the tight arse bastard divers will have to buy it for themselves!
