This remarkable true story, set in the last days of one of Great Britain's magnificent airliners, follows the bizarre circumstances that caused a routine flight from Santander to Devon to end in near disaster. The Vickers Viscount's final flight is re-created in rich detail and set in the context of the lives of those who witnessed it. From the heart-stopping moment of realisation that the plane was not going to reach Exeter Airport, you will be in the cockpit with Geoff Whittaker - the pilot whose job it was to do the near impossible - on the ground with witnesses and alongside the terrified passengers in the cabin, every one of them staring death in the face. Meticulously researched, Forced Landing: The Last Flight of a Viscount perfectly captures the drama of July 17th 1980 that briefly put Ottery St Mary into the headlines.
