David Gunson - What Goes Up Might Come Down

The high flying humor of David Gunson. David Gunson is a Yorkshireman to the core - and proud of it. He was born in Sheffield (where he insists, the M1 is cobbled) and as a young man went to work in a steel foundry, but soon discovered that the opportunities for flying were far too limited. He left and joined the RAF, spending ten years Coastal Command on Shackleton aircraft. He is this well qualified to take US behind the scenes in the world of flying, and, with tongue very much in cheek, his 'talk' skillfully combines humor with hazard, raising many a laugh - and many an eyebrow. Dave Gunson's humor is based on fact, often mischievously, as with a wry smile he informs US that, "We force them down narrow corridors, thereby greatly increasing the risk of collision, while at the same time justifying the job of Air Traffic Controllers to keep them apart."
