Wow --- I somehow missed this post - great having Cliff on board here I remember his flights in the Fletcher across the Tasman (and the Pacific?) - bit too young to remember the around the world flight but have read about it and also read your lttle story on Flightsim.com.

Cheers

Cliff told me he is busy buying up Trademe copies for his grandchildren but even they are getting few and far between. There are none at the moment though.
Best bet is to try your local library - that could still be a problem as my local had only one copy left and it was in their stack collection - must not be taken out of the library - too valuable!

Wow! Cliff would be pleased, I'm sure, to obligue. I guess you can contact him through this forum. Failing that, I'm happy to contact Cliff and ask him to contact you. Just let me know.
