20 West

Spanning six decades, from propeller-driven transport aircraft to composite, fly-by-wire and wide-body double-decker aircraft plucked from the pages of science fiction, 20 West charts the emotion, the physical experience, the joy and the anguish of flying.

It is not a blow-by-blow account of the aviation industry. Nor is it merely one person's story of their career in aviation. Rather, it is a collection of snapshots - some humorous, some heart-breaking - of the people and the aircraft that shaped a lifelong passion for flight.

'Flying is a way of life that wraps itself around you and enters every pore as you fall within its envelope.'
