Burning and Turning: The Rescue 177 Story Continues

James A. Begg

Ayrshire GP Jimmy Begg continues from “Rescue 177: A Scots GP Flies Search and Rescue” with more of his exploits as the main civilian doctor with the rescue team at HMS Gannet. There are many spectacular and tragic incidents, all told in Jimmy’s compellingly readable style, and there is no shortage of humorous yarns and banter to counter the more serious stories.
