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.

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.
