    Kindle reads / flying lessons

    So 2 gifts I had were the above.
    Can anyone recommend a good book for my kindle?
    I like autobiographies, history (the tudors, Hitler).

    I also had a flying lesson at cardiff airport, anyone done one before? Any advice, it says I can fly where I want for 30 mins after reaching 2,000ft

    2,000ft? How high did that Peppa Pig Rocket go?

    I'd recommend 'My previous life as an historic Tudor' by Adolph Hitler.

    I had the flying lesson a few years ago and loved it. I flew over my house but think the coast line would be a better bet. I was quite surprised that I was given full control for about 10 mins which was great too. Wouldnt let me land it though

    Yeah mate, just fly around the coast and docks. I've got Mrs R ready in the attic with anti-aircraft weapons.

    If you've got 30 minutes flight then that's 15 minutes there and back so at 100kts that's about 25 miles or so from Cardiff airport as the crow flies.

    Ask your instructor to demonstrate a wing drop or stall turn, you'll love it.

    That's easy for you to say, you are used to being high.

    I think Downfall (Hitler's last days) is now out as a Kindle book.

    This extract from the film version will give you an idea!
